If you have mozilla browser / email client installed, the email client has a spell check feature. Upon investigation, there is a file called en-US.dic in the path [myspell] and is approx 680 kbytes in size. This is a word list, but there are some rules that I have not figured out yet e.g. Some words have a forward-slash indicator to further expand on the words usability. e.g. posing/CA positifs positionable positional/KY position/KGASMD position's/EC positions/EC Now the word 'position' exist in the list but not 'reposition' so maybe the extra characters creates more permutations that would make the list expand into "all" possible words. Then again you can do a goole search for 'word list' and you should get something.

However, for teaching purposes, since all our lab machines have the same software running, I WOULD like to tap into an existing word list, such as that used by Microsoft Office. Do you happen to know what that word list file is called or how to access it? > > Again, all I need is a list of words, not words and dictionary definitions. >
