All About Text
♦ Words list Contains the list of words in the currently selected user dictionary.
♦ Replacement word(s) This field contains an alternate word or words associated with
the currently selected word. The replacement word is used in the "Auto change" and
"Conditionally change" actions as the substitute word or words. You can enter more
than one word in the Replacement Word(s) box, but the total length should be limited
to 63 characters.
♦ Add Word Click Add Word to add the word entered in the edit area of the Words list
to the currently selected dictionary. The currently selected Action and Replacement
word(s) are associated with the word. You can use the Add Word button to change the
action or replacement word associated with a word. Note that the Add Word button is
enabled only when a new word is typed in the edit area of the Words list. The words
you add may contain virtually any character, but only words which contain embedded
periods should have trailing periods (e.g., U.S.A. is OK, but USA. is not).
♦ Delete Word Click Delete Word to remove the word appearing in the edit area of the
Words list from the currently selected dictionary. The associated Action and
Replacement word(s) are also removed.
♦ Import... Click Import to add the words contained within a text file to the currently
selected dictionary. When you select the Import button, a dialog appears which you
can use to select the text file to be imported. Each word in the selected file is loaded
into the dictionary. Note that importing a large list of words may take some time.
♦ Export... Click Export to save the contents of the currently selected dictionary to a text
file. When you select the Export button, a dialog box appears which you can use to
select the name of the text file to which words in the dictionary will be exported. The
words are written to the file one word per line.
♦ Action list Choose one of the actions in the list to associate with an individual word in
the dictionary. This action tells the Spell Checker what to do when it finds that word in
the dictionary. The following actions can be selected:
♦
Auto change (use case of checked word) This action allows you to
automatically replace one word with another. For example, if you often type
recieve instead of receive, you might enter the word recieve with receive as
the Replacement word and "Auto change (use case of checked word)" as the
action. The spelling checker will automatically correct recieve wherever it
appears. If recieve was capitalized (Recieve), the spelling checker would
automatically replace it with Receive. Note that the replacement is made
automatically only if the "Auto correct" option is enabled in the Spelling
Options dialog box.
♦
Auto change (use case of other word) This action allows you to
automatically replace one word with another, always with the same case
pattern as the replacement word. This action is useful for automatically
expanding abbreviations. For example, you could enter the word TBD with
"to be determined" as the Replacement words and "Auto change (use case of
other word)" as the action. The spelling checker will automatically replace
TBD with "to be determined" wherever it appears. Note that the replacement
is made automatically only if the "Auto correct" option is enabled in the
Spelling Options dialog box.
