About the Spell Utility

The Spell Utility lets you create and edit main word lists for your business or field (such as medicine or law). You can also use the utility to merge main word lists together and to convert main word lists (formerly called dictionaries) from previous formats.

The Spell Utility is a separate program you run from the Windows Start button. The filename is WT9SPTLEN.EXE and can be found in the C:\Program Files\Corel\Shared\WritingTools\9.0 folder.
