FM DICTIONARIES ACCESS

[Robert Stoker]

We checked into this a few years ago and found that the Spelling and 
Thesaurus portions of FrameMaker are copyrighted to 
Proximity/Merriam-Webster. The main dictionary and lookup functions 
were not accessible via the FrameMaker SDK.  Adobe only allowed access 
to the so-called "personal" and "site" dictionaries. We contacted 
Proximity/Merriam-Webster about gaining access and got no response. 
Eventually we gave up and went another way.

The Proximity website is:

Good luck.

Hi all,
     Does anyone know any programmatic way of accessing FrameMaker
dictionaries
     or hyphenation rules. Anyting goes - FDK, FrameScript, Python. 
Trying to
     simulate Paragraph Composer (just like the one in InDesign) for FM -
     hyphenation is a bug - I can't access the language modules, they are
     encoded. Any suggestions are welcome.
     If you have anything developed in this direction I'm willing to 
exchange
my
     data.
     Michael
