Working with Text 133
To check spelling as you type:
• With the Check spelling as you type feature turned on (from
Tools>Options>Options>General), place an insertion point in a
marked word by clicking, then right-click. You'll see alternative
spellings on the context menu.
• To replace a marked word, choose an alternative spelling from the
menu.
• To tell PagePlus to ignore (leave unmarked) all instances of the
marked word in the publication, choose Ignore All from the right-
click menu (or just Ignore for this instance only).
• To add the marked word (as spelled) to your personal dictionary,
choose Add to Dictionary from the right-click menu. This means
PagePlus will subsequently ignore the word in any publication.
• Select Check Spelling to run the Spell Checker described above.
Spell-checking
The Spell Checker lets you check the spelling of a single word, selected text, a
single story, or all stories in your publication. You can customize the built-in
dictionary by adding your own words.
To help trap typographic errors and fix spelling problems while creating text,
use AutoCorrect and Check spelling as you type, respectively.
Multilingual spell checking is supported by use of up to 14 dictionaries. Any
language can be enabled globally from Tools>Options>Options>General or
applied specifically to text or paragraphs via the Language Selector in the
Character tab. Spell checking can be turned off temporarily by selecting "None"
as a language type—this could be useful when working with text containing lots
of unusual terms (perhaps scientific or proprietary terminology).
To check spelling:
1. (Optional) To check a single story, first make sure the text or text
object is selected.
2. Choose Spell Checker... from the Tools menu.
