Spell-Right ® Dictionary Spell-Right Dictionary is an electronic dictionary which instantly signals misspelled words. WordFind finds misspelled words.

NOTE: A group of letters will be considered a word if it is followed by a space, carrier return, tab, index up, index down, subscript, superscript, pitch change, number or any non-alpha character.
Hyphens If a word is hyphenated and the hyphen is followed by a carrier return, the dictionary will continue from one line to the next. Example: “Congratulations on the purchase of your new electronic typewriter.” The word “electronic” would be checked. Only the root words of hyphenated words and words followed by an apostrophe ( ’ ) or apostrophe S ( ’s ) will be checked – not the placement of hyphens or uses of apostrophes.

Abbreviation Feature The Abbreviation feature allows you to quickly insert a pre-programmed word or phrase into your document. For example, if you frequently find yourself typing “Best Regards,” you can insert its abbreviation, and the unit will type the phrase.
