Integrated spelling checker If the integrated spelling checker is used, the spelling automatically performed in the edit control and table columns: the words not found in the integrated dictionary are automatically underlined in red. The popup menu of the underlined word allows you to select one of the proposed words, or add the word to the dictionary.
The words that are added to the dictionary can be found in: "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\PC SOFT\perso.dic". They can be edited and deleted if necessary. OpenOffice spelling checker Two spelling checkers can be proposed according to the word processor installed on the computer. If the word processor is Word, the Word spelling checker can be automatically started on the edit controls ("Spell check" in the context menu).
Remark: This option is proposed only if Word is installed on the current computer. If the word processor is OpenOffice, the spell checker is automatically performed in the edit controls and in the table columns: the words not found in the OpenOffice dictionary are automatically underlined in red. The popup menu of the underlined word allows you to select one of the proposed words, or add the word to the dictionary. Remark: This option is proposed only if OpenOffice and its dictionary are installed on the current computer. See the documentation about this software to install the dictionaries. |
