Spell Checker (Word Spell)
The Spell Checker comes with a built-in dictionary of about 70,000 English words.
When checking your text, the Spell Checker automatically compares each word
with the contents of the built-in dictionary. If a word is not found in the built-in dic­
tionary, the word processor assumes that the word in question is misspelled and
warns you.
The built-in dictionary contains only standard English words, and will consider
words like brand names, people’s names, or foreign language words as mis­
spelled words, even if those words are correct. If you frequently use such words in
your document, you should create a “User Dictionary” and store those words in
that dictionary. The user dictionary is kept in the memory for as long as the power
is on. When a word cannot be found in the built-in dictionary, the Spell Checker
will scan the user dictionary and warn you only if the word cannot be found there.
When a word cannot be found in either dictionary, the Spell Checker gives you a
menu of options:
• You can IGNORE the warning and keep the suspect word unchanged.
• You can ask for SUGGESTIONS. In this case, the Spell Checker will supply pos­
sible replacement word(s) for the suspect word.
• You can also directly RETYPE the word correctly. This option is used when the
error is evident and easy to correct, or when the system cannot provide the
correct suggestion.
• You can ADD the suspect word to the user dictionary. This is useful when the
suspect word, although correct, is not a standard English word. Once the
word is stored in the user dictionary, the Spell Checker will not warn you the
next time the same word is found.
The Spell Checker also detects double words (you typed the same word twice).
When this happens, a menu of options appears:
• You can IGNORE the warning and keep the repeated word in the text.
• You can automatically ERASE the SECOND WORD.
NOTE:
This system is not a repiacement for carefui proofreading of your documents,
it has no way of knowing, for exampie, whether words are missing or whether
a given word is appropriate for the current context if you type “teh” instead of
“the”, the speii checker aierts you because “teh” is not a vaiid Engiish word,
but if you type “one” instead of “on”, it does not consider it a mistake.
