Removing words from the main dictionary

Product: Sentry Spelling Checker Engine (all SDKs)

Question: How can I delete certain words from the main dictionary? I don't want these words to be offered as suggestions, and I want them to be treated as misspellings.

Answer: You can effectively eliminate specific words by adding them to a text lexicon with the SSCE_EXCLUDE_ACTION. Any words marked with the SSCE_EXCLUDE_ACTION will not be offered as suggestions, and they will be reported as misspellings during spell checking. The text lexicon containing the excluded words must be opened before other lexicons containing the words for this to work.
