Hey gang, quick question.  
Any idea where I might get a dictonary file that contains medical terminology (specifically, prescription drugs) for Microsoft Word? Are there 3rd party vendors that sell these, or is anyone aware of where I can find one of these files?

I work for a company that deals a lot with prescription drugs, and I want to do a spell check on my documents that have medical terminology in them.  
Thanks!  
Zette

Zette,

You might try a medical school book/software store. My sis-in-law was looking for a spell checker for Word that checks Latin words (she’s in a Latin class.) I found one on the web for her doing a search in Yahoo \> Software, but wasn’t exactly what she was looking for.
