Changing dictionaries
To install and select additional dictionary, hyphenation, and thesaurus files,
choose Writing Tools from the Edit menu, and then choose Select Dictionaries.
You can also create and select different user dictionaries for specialized
terms or proper nouns that don’t appear in the main dictionary.
For more instructions on changing dictionaries, see onscreen Help.
Counting words
You can count words, paragraphs, and other text elements in any type of
document except communications. To count words, choose Writing Tools from
the Edit menu, and then choose Word Count. A dialog box appears that displays
the number of characters, words, lines, paragraphs, pages, and sections in the
current document.
Note If you select Count Selection in the Word Count dialog box, you get a word
count for the current selection only.
Adding pictures and frames to text
There are two ways to place pictures and frames—such as clip art,
spreadsheets, drawings, and paintings—in a word processing document.
You can insert them as inline objects, so that they move along, or flow, with
your text, or place them as independent objects that float on the page and are
not affected by the text.
Insert an object as an inline object when you want the object always to
appear next to specific text, or flow to the next line as you type more text.
Add a floating object when you want to wrap text around the object (see the
next section), or move the object with the arrow pointer.
