Spelling Options

These options allow you to customize the Author-it built-in spell checker.

Spell Check Objects on Exit

When this option is selected, Author-it automatically performs a spell check on an object when you close it, provided that changes have been made. Author-it checks the spelling in all fields of all objects.

Spell Check As I Type

When editing the Topic text, description and headings, a red wavy underline is shown under any unknown words. Right-clicking displays a list of suggested words, along with the options to Ignore All or to Add the word to the dictionary.

Maximum Suggested Words

Controls the maximum number of suggested words in the shortcut menu. The range of maximum number of suggested words is between 1 to 10.

Note: This setting does not affect the number of suggested words when a full spell check is completed.

Dictionary

Displays a list of available dictionaries. The Dictionaries are located in sub-folders in the Dictionaries folder, and are copied to the Author-it folder only when selected. Dictionaries may be created from specially formatted word lists using the Author-it Administrator.
