Converting a Data Dictionary

CSPro will convert your existing IMPS 3.1, IMPS 4.1, or ISSA dictionary (any version) to the CSPro dictionary format. You can also save your CSPro dictionary file out as an IMPS 3.1 or ISSA dictionary. Either way, just do the following:
  1. Click the Tools menu, and then click Convert Dictionary.
  2. Choose whether you are converting between CSPro and IMPS, or CSPro and ISSA, then press Next.
  3. Choose the type conversion you are performing and press Next.
  4. Choose the file name of the dictionary you are converting.
  5. Specify the file name of the dictionary you are generating.
  6. Press Finish when ready.
Note: The Convert Dictionary tool is no longer distributed with CSPro but is instead available at https://csprousers.org/downloads.
