Spell Checker Screen

When TrackPro finds a word that is not in the spelling dictionary it will be displayed in this textbox.

2 - Replace with

The "Replace With" text box will contain a correction suggestion. You may edit this box directly or the word can be replaced by selecting another word from Suggestions box (3).  

3 - Suggestions

TrackPro will display a number of suggestions for the word it doesn't find in its dictionary. The word you select will be loaded into the "Replace with" box (2).

4 - Settings

Clicking the "Settings" button will enlarge the current screen exposing items 10 through 14. These are options that determine how the Spell Checker will work.

5 - Add

Clicking the "Add" button will add the word in the "Not in dictionary" box (1) to the custom spelling dictionary and correct the spelling in the source control. Should you inadvertently add an incorrect word to the custom dictionary you may correct it by editing the custom dictionary file using a text editor such as notepad. The file is located in a folder that is dependant on TrackPro's language setting. For example the file for English custom dictionary would be located at  ..\<TrackPro Data Folder>\locale\en\custom-en.dic.

Clicking the "Replace" button will replace the misspelled word with the one contained in the Replace with textbox.

If available you may selected a localized version of the spelling dictionary. For example; in English, dictionaries are available for the following locales: Australia, Canada, South Africa, United Kingdom and the United States. If desired you may substitute any dictionary formatted for OpenOffice. The dictionaries will have a ".oxt" file extension. You can check for alternate dictionaries at:

       https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/search
