Problem

Symptoms: When a customer tries to run the Speller in WP 6.0b, the error "Unknown major file version" occurs. Solutions: This error occurs when the .LEX file WP 6.0b tries to use is a WP 6.0 (06/01/93) or WP 6.0a (09/13/93) .LEX file. This problem can also occur when using Stedman's Medical Dictionary. To correct the problem, convert the .LEX file with the SPELL.EXE utility that ships with WP 6.0b. Follow these steps to convert a .LEX file from a previous version to WP 6.0b: 1. Start the SPELL.EXE that ships with WP 6.0b. 2. Choose option 1 (Change\Create Dictionary). 3. Type in the full path and filename of the .LEX file you want to convert (you can specify a Stedman's Dictionary file, if needed). 4. After the "Please Wait" message disappears, exit SPELL.EXE. The spell-check should now run without error.
