I'm trying to take an Excel spreadsheet (~1500 entries) and turn it into an OXCD custom dictionary. Is there a relatively painless "by the numbers" way of making that happen?
I've tried saving the Excel spreadsheet as a unicode document, converting the unicode doc to GB encoding (with Twinbridge), and then running Makedict, but Makedict keeps complaining about not being able to access the GB file. I'm working on a WinXP machine.
I understand that the current Makedict code is considered to be flaky and I'm looking forward to the customizing capabilities of the new software release. but if there's any way to make my own dictionary before then I'd appreciate it.
