Spell Check

The full-featured spell checker enables you to specify the dictionaries that you want to use.

You can use up to 32 dictionaries. If you have defined special terms in a dictionary, you can assign that dictionary to the Open Plan spell checker. Open Plan also enables you to assign many different language dictionaries so that you can check the spelling of words in other languages.

In addition to using the dictionary files shipped with Open Plan, you can also use a dictionary supplied with another application or even create one of your own. The dictionary can be stored in any of the following file types:

  • TLS: This is the default dictionary type for the Open Plan spell checking feature.
  • DIC: This is the default dictionary type used by many word processing programs such as Microsoft Word.
  • TXT: This is the default dictionary of custom dictionaries and dictionaries containing acronyms.
When you use the spell checking feature, the Check Spelling dialog box displays whenever a word is encountered that cannot be found in the current dictionaries. You can access the Spell Check feature by clicking the abc button in the following areas of Open Plan:
  • The Email Advisor
  • The Notes tab of dialog boxes
Note: You can add acronyms as shortcuts for other words. The spell checking feature finds the acronym and offers you suggested replacement words. For example, you can define "sw" as a shortcut for software. If you have existing acronym dictionaries, you can import these dictionaries and use them in Open Plan.

In addition to highlighting unrecognized words, the Check Spelling dialog box also suggests words that you might want to use as replacements.

Two buttons that are located at the bottom of the dialog box provide access to customizable spell checker features:

  • Options: Click this button to display the Check Spelling Options dialog box where you can specify the options that you want to use.
  • Dictionaries: Click this button to display the Dictionaries dialog box where you can add new dictionaries and add or delete words from the current dictionary.
