Use Dictionaries

Select one or more of the dictionaries to be the basis of spelling checks:

- Spanish
- Dutch - the Dutch dictionary includes the new spelling (De Nieuwe Spelling)
- German
- Italian

- NOTE: If you choose to load all dictionaries, spelling checks may take time as Content Manager will use all files that are installed during the spelling checking process.

- Advanced - click for spelling checker options:
  - Ignore capitalised words, e.g., Australia - select to ignore words beginning with a capital letter.

    You might select this option when the text contains many proper names.

  - Ignore all-caps words, e.g., ASAP - select to ignore words containing all capital letters.

    You might select this option when the text contains many acronyms.

  - Ignore words with numbers, e.g., Win2000 - select to ignore words containing embedded digits.

    You might select this option when the text contains many code words or other symbols containing digits.

  - Ignore words with mixed case, e.g., InterNet - select to ignore words containing an unusual mixture of upper and lower-case letters.

    You might select this option when the text contains many variable names or other symbols which use case changes to distinguish words.

  - Ignore domain names, e.g. towersoft.com - select to ignore words containing domain names.

    See Checking spelling.

  - Case sensitive - select to make a distinction between capitalised and non-capitalised words - for example, canada is considered different from Canada; so canada would be reported as misspelt.

    When the option is not selected, canada and Canada are considered identical.

    Selected by default.

  - Phonetic suggestions (English only) - select to make suggestions on the basis of phonetic similarity as well as typographical similarity.

    Tends to improve suggestions for badly misspelled words.

    Selected by default.

  - Auto correct - select to replace words automatically.

    Typically, auto correct dictionaries hold frequently misspelled words and their correct replacements - for example, an auto correct dictionary may contain the misspelled word recieve and its replacement receive.

    Each item in an auto correct dictionary contains a word and the replacement, separated by a colon, for example, recieve:receive.

    NOTE:

    This option is selected by default.

    For organisations that use many acronyms and abbreviations, it is recommended you consider clearing this option as auto-correcting with these can lead to undesirable results.

  Suggestions

  Select the option to use for auto correction:

  - Fast but less accurate
  - Moderately fast and accurate - selected by default
  - Slow but accurate
