Spell Checker Help


Spell checking on demand

The spell checker is started by placing the cursor inside of a text or editor area, then invoking the function Edit>Check Spelling or pressing the spell checker tool button (). Alternatively, you may select a text area and then press the spell checker button.

To add this function to the workbench toolbar and to the menu go to Window>Customize Perspective..., open the Commands page, and checkmark SpellChecker.

Improper words are shown in the Spell Correction View. You may replace such words, ignore them, or add them to the dictionary.

The Spell Checker Preference Page allows the selection of the dictionary and to set a variety of options. 

Dictionaries

The Spell Checker is deployed with a relatively small default dictionary for the English language. Users may want to upgrade to more complete dictionaries which are freely available in different languages.
