XStandard End-user Guide: Spell Checker

Spell Checker

To access the spell checker, select on the toolbar, or, in the context menu, select Toolbar, Buttons, Spelling.
Spell check a whole document, or spell check part of a document by highlighting a portion of text. Alternate text for images is included in the spell check.
In the Spelling dialog box, misspelled or unrecognized words appear under Not in dictionary.
Misspelled or unrecognized words appear highlighted in the editor (see below).

The Spelling dialog box.

Replace With offers the most likely correct spelling for misspelled words.
When the Replace With field is blank, enter the correct spelling into the Replace With field, then select Change or Change All to change one or all instances of the unrecognized word.

Select Ignore to ignore one instance of a misspelled or unrecognized word.
Select Ignore All to ignore all instances of the misspelled or unrecognized word.
Both of the above options ignore misspelled words only during the current spell checking session.

Change replaces one instance of a misspelled or unrecognized word with the word found under Replace With.
Change All replaces all instances of a misspelled or unrecognized word with the word found under Replace With.

Add permits users to add unrecognized words to a custom dictionary.
This feature is useful for saving frequently used acronyms, technical terms, proper names, etc.
Depending on how your System Administrator has configured your content management system, words added to the custom dictionary can be made available to individuals, to groups or globally.

The editor is configured to spell check using a default language chosen by your System Administrator.
Dictionary Language confirms the language version being used for the current spell checking session.
To change the Dictionary Language, select another language from the drop-down menu.
At the end of the spell checking session, the Dictionary Language will revert to the default.

Spell checking is available in: Danish, Dutch, English (Canadian, British, US), French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.
When multiple languages appear within the same text selection and the selection is greater than 15 words, if the spell checker detects more than 50% errors, the Spelling dialog box prompts the author to select a more appropriate Dictionary Language for spell checking.
The new language selection will be used to spell check the current selection, but subsequent spell checks will revert to the default language.
When a selection includes equal proportions of more than one language, it is preferable to spell check each language portion separately.
