Hi,

The easiest solution seems to be to use the wordprocessor called UltraEdit.
This allows you to work with files of enormous sizes in Windows and you can
add your own dictionary files. The dictionary file is a plain text file
where the matching entries are simply separated by a colon.

Hope it'll work for you.
