Dictionary Preferences
The Address Dictionary group identifies the path(s) of all installed address dictionaries. The Address
Dictionary covers all of USA or individual provinces, depending on what you purchased and
installed. You can add additional paths to the list at any time by separating each path with a
semicolon. You do not need to specify the file name.
A user dictionary is a custom dictionary that you have created from your own data or data that you
purchased from a third party. A custom user dictionary can contain address point data for the area
that you are geocoding, and this can give you more accurate results than the standard address
dictionary. In order to geocode with a user dictionary, you must specify the path. For complete
information on user dictionaries, see
