# EnumWords Method of the Dictionary Object

This method returns an object of the [EnumDictionaryWords](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/language-related-objects/enumdictionarywords) type that allows you to iterate through the words in the dictionary. This method makes a copy of the dictionary, and thus all the modifications that are performed upon the dictionary after getting the EnumDictionaryWords object do not affect the latter. That is, if a word is added to the dictionary after the EnumDictionaryWords object was received for it, this word will not be included in iteration.

## Syntax

### C++

```cpp theme={null}
HRESULT EnumWords( IEnumDictionaryWords** Result );
```

### C\#

```csharp theme={null}
IEnumDictionaryWords EnumWords();
```

### Visual Basic .NET

```vb theme={null}
Function EnumWords() As IEnumDictionaryWords
```

## Parameters

Result

\[out, retval] A pointer to IEnumDictionaryWords\* pointer variable that receives the interface pointer to the returned [EnumDictionaryWords](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/language-related-objects/enumdictionarywords) object. Must not be NULL.

## Return values

This method has no specific return values. It returns the [standard return values of ABBYY FineReader Engine functions](/fine-reader/engine/api-reference/return-codes).
