f. When the transfer is complete the totals
will be shown in a message box. Words transferred from one dictionary
category to another will be shown as part of the "Already

Note: The feedback from our users was the
manual transfer was too involved. From version 3.1 we have
replaced the manual transfer with a more straightforward import
dictionary wizard. ( see above)
