There are simple ways to search text dictionaries. One is to add ":" after each entry and then add ":" to each word you want to find. Some dictionaries come this way, others have a line return after each entry, some come in bold so you only search words with a return or in bold... And every single entry to a dictionary comes right after a line return (^p).
I know nothing about this, but were I to look for an entry in a txt dictionary using MSWord, I would use a macro to search for "^pentry". I would try to get things a little more complicated and try to search for "^pentr*" if "entry" was not there, then "^pent*" and so on until I got the closest word to the entry I want.
If an ignorant like me can manage to conceive this, it shouldn't be very difficult for the guys working with dictionaries around here.
But that wouldn't work with the 505. It would work with the 700.
