N80 Predictive Text Dictionary - Importing...sort of

1 replies · 3,787 views · Started 22 June 2006

I have been teaching my n80 the words I use for work to make it easier to type in notes and diary comments etc

1 - First I went to the dictionary in my Outlook mail for work. This lists all the words I have added as I have spell checked my mail before sending.

2 - I filtered this list to remove any that are not required.

3 - I then copied all of these to a note in Outlook

4 - synced the phone to transfer the note to the N80

5 - edited the note in the N80

6 - select each word (holding the edit key "pencil"😉 and lthen the left soft key to copy.

7 - move the cursor to make sure the word has the underline and then press * until spell appears at the left soft key

8 - if the word in the spell field has changed to something else just paste (edit key + right soft key) from the buffer

9 - click ok

do this for each word. Takes a bit of time but a hell of a lot easier than clicking each of them in.

took me about 30 minutes for 120 words / acronyms etc.
