Does Logos offer a MS Word Bible Dictionary for indivdual Bible versions? MS Word allows one to add dictionaries, so I was just wondering ... Thanks.
Yours In Christ
Sacrifice:Does Logos offer a MS Word Bible Dictionary for indivdual Bible versions?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no but I don't really understand the question.
What would you want such a dictionary to do?
Is this related - in some way - to creating personal books, notes or sermons? Or something else?
He wants ro add theological words to MS Word's custom dictionary en mass.

Do you mean just for spell check purposes?

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I wasn't more specific. When adding passages of Scripture into MS Word many times the MS Word dictionary underlines them indicating that they may be incorrectly spelled, etc. This is aggravating ...
It would be nice to have a Bible dictionary(s) (Greek and Hebrew would be nice too -:)) in MS Word - you can add them in the actual program (Word for Mac) rather easily (Preferences-->Spelling and Grammar-->Dictionary-->Drop the file and then Add) - to alleviate this ...
Thanks for clarifying.
But, no, Logos does not offer anything like this.
Ok, many thanks.
This isn't too hard. Use Logos to export a word list to excel. Grab the gloss column. I used a mix of Excel, Notepad++, and Word to break it down in to one word per line, eliminate duplicates. I then used a macro found here:
https://word.tips.net/T001465_Pulling_Out_Spelling_Errors.html
to collect the words that Word didn't already recognize.
The resulting list is saved to a unicode text file using Word:
2727.esv.zip
Except for a cursory look, I haven't reviewed the results. It should be reviewed.
The process takes <20 mins, probably a good bit less now that I know better how to do it.
EDIT: For bible versions where the text is freely available you should be able to just use the macro on the complete bible text.

Many thanks Randy. I’ll attempt to do this. This will be great.
I had time to go through this one more time and refine it a bit.
Note that the dictionary I posted earlier used word list instead and is less complete than than the method below using Concordance. That dictionary file is incomplete.
Here's the blow by blow:

Very very neat!!! Thanks.
This is going in my "Bound to come in useful" file.
Randy,
Many thanks. Even though you spelled it out wonderfully, that is probably beyond my capabities. I tried it from the first post you made and gave up. It will be a huge project and I know me I’ll want to add every theological term in existence to it, not just the Bible. So there goes more time...
I want to thank you though for finding / thinking of how to do it. That is really cool.

I just do this one term at a time, as I come across them. I do double-check, if not triple check the spelling each time. It doesn't take long before there aren't that many new ones - at least for how I work. I did copy a list of all the books of the Bible and check those off one at a time. That gave a good start.
