Options
You can use the Options Dialog to specify various spelling-checker options. These options affect the way the spelling checker operates.
Ignore Capitalized Words
When enabled, any words beginning with a capital letter are ignored. You might enable this option if the text being checked contains proper names.
Ignore All-Caps Words
When enabled, any words containing all capital letters are ignored. You might enable this option if the text being checked contains acronyms.
Ignore Words with Numbers
When enabled, any words containing embedded digits are ignored. You might enable this option if the text being checked contains any code words or other symbols containing digits.
Ignore Words with Mixed Case
With this option enabled, the spell checker will disregard words containing a combination of upper and lower case letters that deviate from standard capitalization rules.
Ignore Domain Names
When enabled, any words that appear to be Internet domain names are ignored.
Report Doubled Words
When enabled, the Check Spelling feature will catch repeated words.
Case Sensitive
When enabled, a distinction is made between capitalized and non-capitalized words. Note that the performance of the spelling checker will be reduced if this option is disabled.
Phonetic Suggestions
When enabled, suggestions are made based on phonetic (sounds-like) similarity to the misspelled word. This option tends to improve suggestions for badly misspelled words. Enabling this option will increase the time required to locate suggestions.
Note that this option or the Typographical Suggestions option must be enabled or no suggestions will be offered.
Typographical Suggestions
When enabled, suggestions are made based on typographical (looks-like) similarity to the misspelled word. This option is appropriate for people who are generally good spellers. Note that either this option or the Phonetic Suggestions option must be enabled or no suggestions will be offered.
Suggest Split Words
When enabled, two separate words will be suggested as a replacement for a misspelling containing two joined words.
Auto Correct
When enabled, words marked with 'Auto Change' actions will automatically be changed to their specified replacements. When disabled, you will be prompted before the words are changed.
Main Dictionary Language
This option allows you to set the language of the main dictionary to check spelling. The list only shows languages for dictionaries installed on your system.
Suggestions
Determines the speed and accuracy of the initial search for suggested replacements for misspelled words. When a misspelled word is detected, a search is automatically made for suggestions. This option controls the speed and accuracy of this automatic search. Pressing the Suggest button in the Check-Spelling window causes an increasingly more accurate (but slower) search for suggestions.
Check Spelling
When the spell checker encounters a word that it can’t find in the built-in, engineering, or user dictionaries, the Check Spelling window displays.
The Check-Spelling window appears if a word requiring your attention is detected. You can use the dialog to specify whether the word should be ignored or replaced.
Note that the labels of some buttons and text boxes in the dialog change according to the context.
Not In Dictionary
Indicates that a misspelled word was detected. The word is considered misspelled because it could not be located in any open dictionaries, or was marked with an exclude action. You can edit the word in this box or select a suggestion from the list, then click the Change button to correct the word, or press the Ignore button to skip the word.
Suggestions
A list containing suggested replacements for the word reported as misspelled. Subsequent presses of the Suggest button may yield more suggestions. The word selected in the Suggestions list will be used as the replacement when the Change or Change All buttons are pressed unless the word in the problem box was edited.
Add Words To list
The Add Words To show which user dictionary will receive new words when you click Add. Open or close other dictionaries using the Dictionaries button.
buttons
Ignore
Prevents this specific misspelling from being flagged repeatedly, but highlights it if used again later.
Ignore All
This setting instructs the spell checker to disregard this misspelling and any subsequent instances. You might use this button if the word reported as a misspelling is spelled correctly. If the word is one you use frequently, you may decide to ignore it permanently by selecting the Add button.
Add
Adds the selected word to the dictionary selected in the Add Words To list. Use the Add button if a correctly spelled word you use often is reported as a misspelling. If the word is not used frequently, you may want to select the Ignore or Ignore All buttons instead. This button is enabled only if a user dictionary has been selected in the Add Words To list.
Change
This function corrects the highlighted error using your edit or the suggested word, affecting only this specific occurrence. If you want this and all the following occurrences of the word replaced, select the Change All button.
Change All
This option automatically corrects every instance of the flagged word throughout your document. If you made an edit, that will be used as the replacement. Otherwise, the suggested correction will be applied. Click the Change button only if this occurrence of the word needs to be replaced. To avoid future corrections, consider adding the word to your dictionary by selecting the Dictionaries button.
Suggest
Search more thoroughly for suggested replacements for the current misspelled word. Each time you press the Suggest button, a "deeper" search is made. The Suggest button is disabled once all possible suggestions have been located.
Dictionaries
Click the Dictionaries button to open the Dictionaries window where you can open or close existing user dictionaries or edit the words stored in the user dictionaries.
