User-defined dictionaries

Lists the available user dictionaries. Mark the user dictionaries that you want to use for spellcheck.

New Dictionary

In the Dictionary section you can name a new user-defined dictionary and specify the language.

Name

Specifies the name of the new custom dictionary. The file extension "*.DIC" is automatically appended.

Language

By selecting a certain language you can limit the use of the custom dictionary.

Edit

Opens the Edit Custom Dictionary dialog, in which you can add to your custom dictionary or edit existing entries.

In the Edit Custom Dictionary dialog you have the option to enter new terms or edit existing entries. If you edit an exception dictionary, the dialog has the added facility of defining an exception for a word. During the spellcheck this exception is then listed as a suggestion.

Warning Icon

When a dictionary is edited, a check is made on the status of the file. If the file is write-protected, it cannot be changed. The buttons New and Delete are then deactivated.

Book

Specifies the book to be edited.

The IgnoreAllList (All) includes all words that have been marked with Ignore during spellcheck. This list is administered only for the current spellcheck in the volatile RAM. IgnoreAllList (All) cannot be deleted.

Note Icon The IgnoreAllList entry cannot be selected and cannot be deleted. Only the words included as content can be deleted. This happens automatically each time when Lotus® Symphony™ is closed.

Language

Assigns a new language to the current custom dictionary.

Word

You can type a new word for inclusion in the dictionary. In the list below you will see the contents of the current custom dictionary. If you select a word from this list it is displayed in the text field.

Replace by

This input field is only available if you are editing an exception dictionary. The field takes the alterative suggestion for the word in the "Word" text box.

New

Adds the word in the Word text field to your current custom dictionary. The word in the Suggestion field is also added when working with exception dictionaries.

Options

Defines the options for the spellcheck.

Edit

If you want to change a value, select the entry and then click Edit. You will see a dialog for entering a new value.

Check spelling as you type

Automatically checks spelling as you type, and underlines errors.

Typing errors are highlighted in the document with a red underline. If you place the cursor over a word marked in this way, you can open the context menu to obtain a list of suggested corrections. Select a suggested correction to replace the suspect word with the suggestion. If you make the same mistake again while editing the document, it will be corrected automatically.

Note Icon These automatic replacements are only made during the current Lotus Symphony session.

To place the word pair in the Instant Correction replacement table , open the Instant Corrections context menu and choose Instant Correction . Make your selection from the submenu. The word is replaced and at the same time the word pair is placed in the replacement table.

Check uppercase words

Specifies that capitalization is checked during spellcheck.

Check words with numbers

Specifies that words that contain numbers as well as letters are to be checked.

Check special regions

Specifies that special regions, such as text in headers and footers, document tables, and text frames, are checked during spellcheck.
