Use your normal SpellCheck function, but specify a "private"
dictionary. Create a custom dictionary and name it "Klingon.dic".
First, go to the "Tools" selection on your menu bar. Under that
there is the "Options" choice. This will open a window with many of
the User presets. Choose the "Spelling" tab, and find the "Custom
Dictionaries" button. Here you simply create a new dictionary for
yourself. It will have no words to start with. You must use it with
your normal dictionary during spellchecks (by checking the boxes for
both).Keep your TKD handy!
During spellchecks; when you find words from the Hol, simply choose
to add them to your "Klingon.dic". When you have added enough to it,
the dictionary will begin to be an invaluable resource. The
"Klingon.dic" will begin to recommend appropriate or similar words
over time. Avoid adding entire phrases, or compound words. This can be
especially problematic, with adverbial/pronominal prefix/suffixes,
etc., used as they are in the tlhIngan Hol.
!! Be sure to check the spelling of words, before adding them to the
"Klingon.dic", to avoid perpetuating mistakes. Every word from the
Beginners Grammarian should be canon. I always spellcheck his output
first, to add to my tlhingan Hol *.dic! This will give you the best
foundation to work from.

PS: SuStel,HIja' vItu'ta'a'*SkyBox*!
I have found some of the "SkyBox" cards. They are from the TNG 2ND,
3RD, and 4TH Series. They were in the local Geppis' Card/Comix shops,
and although they had never heard of a tlhingan language set, were
able to help me find these. In order to get the entire set I will have
to purchase several Boxes (36$ DIvI smackeroos each!).

Anyone familiar with Office 97 knows that MS Outlook checks the spelling =
of each e-mail you send. Is there a spelling dictionary for Klingon? =
(*.vxd) Would appreciate a good Klingon spell-check.
