Spell Check Questions

[Dungarven]

1. Is there any way to remove a word from the spell check dictionary once you have told Affpub to learn it? I added a British spelling of a word to the dictionary, but I now want to write with the American spelling. Spell checker does not pick up the British version now. Agh!

2. Spell check highlighted spelling errors of words I had already told it to learn. The only way to get rid of the red line was to click on Unlearn... which seems counterintuitive. Is this normal? I don't understand how this works.

3 Is there any way to review a list of words that you have added?

Thanks

For 1: Select the word, right-click. You should have an Unlearn option.

Not sure about 2. Would probably need more info (screenshots, sample document). Also, what OS do you use?

3 might also depend on what OS you use.

Thank you Walt. The right click trick is useful.  I set my language to UK English, but the spelling errors Affpub that showed up were inconsistent with UK spellings sometimes. Also I notice you can have it learn, say, the word 'recognize' but you will still have to tell it to learn 'recognized'. All a bit confusing, so I have generated a check list of acceptable variations of spellings now to help with consistency. Thank goodness for F&R!

Thanks, Walt. I hope you have lots more patience, because I am going to play with images next! 😃

The dictionary.propcol file holds this data (Windows)

you can open it with any text file

it will be mostly garbage but any words you have added will be in there in plain view (i.e. unencrypted/coded)
