Spelling and grammar

To enable or disable Check Spelling option, in the Tools menu, select Spelling and Grammar and then check or uncheck the Check Spelling box.

Check spelling basics:

•The spell check dictionary is selected automatically, based on the language of the first word in the paragraph.

•The application uses wavy red underlines to indicate:

•Words that are absent in the selected dictionary.

•Words with spelling mistakes.

•A spell checker runs every time you make changes to the text of the presentation.

Correction of spelling mistakes

If a spelling mistake is detected, a correction is suggested. To correct the mistake:

1.Move the cursor over the misspelled word underlined with a red wavy line or select it.

2.Right-click the misspelled word to open the context menu.

3.In the context menu, select the correct spelling.

If no correct spelling can be suggested for the word, you'll see the No suggestions notification in the context menu.

Turn off the underline for spelling errors

If you use specific terms that are not included in the current dictionary, you can add them to the custom dictionary or to the ignore list.

To add a word in the ignore list:

1.Place the cursor on a word underlined with a red wavy line or select it.

2.Right-click the selected word, and then click Ignore.

Once finished, the underline with a red wavy line disappears. If the word appears in the document more than once, the changes apply to all case sensitive repetitions. The words marked for Ignore are not taken into account under your current work session. When you reopen the document, the spell checker launches and underlines all the words with mistakes again.

If a word is placed in the Ignore list by mistake, use the Check Spelling command. To enable spell checking:

1.Place the cursor on a word or select it.

2.Right-click the selected word, and then click Check Spelling.

To avoid underlining certain words in the text (for example, proper nouns, abbreviations, special terms, and so on), you can add them to the custom dictionary.

Make sure that spell check is enabled in the application before you start to work with the dictionary.

Adding words to a dictionary

You can only add individual words to the dictionary. Phrases and word combinations cannot be added.

The words in the dictionary are case-sensitive. If the word is written in both capital and lowercase characters, it is recommended to add both variants to the dictionary.

To add a word to a custom dictionary directly from the text, right-click the selected text, and then click Add to Dictionary in the shortcut menu.

To add a new word directly to the dictionary:

1.In the Command menu, click Tools > Custom Dictionary.

2.In the Custom Dictionary dialog box, enter the word to be added to the dictionary.

3.Click or press Enter.

4.Click Done to finish editing the dictionary and close the dialog box.

Import of third-party dictionaries

To expand the word count available in the presentation editor, you can import third-party dictionary files in the DIC format. Use the following steps to proceed:

1.In the Custom Dictionary dialog box, click Import.

2.In the file manager window that appears, select a file with the .dic extension and click Open.

Once finished, the content of the file is displayed in a configurable dictionary.

Delete words from a dictionary

You can delete a previously added word from the Custom Dictionary.

To delete a word from the Custom Dictionary:

1.In the Command menu, click Tools and then click Custom Dictionary.

2.In the Custom Dictionary dialog box, place the cursor on the word to be removed from the dictionary and click Remove.

3.Click Done, to finish editing the dictionary and close the dialog box.
