Spell Checking options

Setting up a Personal Dictionary

RoboHelp HTML 9.1 now supports 11 languages. Each language has it's own language specific dictionary. The key to using the new spell checking options is to configure the custom dictionary (Personal Dictionary.tlx).  To configure the custom dictionary try the following:

1. Open RoboHelp HTML and click the WYSIWYG tab.

2. Choose Tools: Spelling options.

3. Click the Dictionaries tab.

4. Select Personal Dictionary.tlx.

5. Click Modify.
   
   Before spending time adding a lot of new words, test a few words to see how Auto Change and Change actually work. .  I discovered words that use numbers (test1, test2, etc.) do not work with Auto Change and Change. However, email addresses work fine. According to the Help file, the options work as indicated:
   
   No action: Ignores word. This is useful for words that dictionaries don't typically recognize.
   Auto Change: Changes the word automatically to the assigned spelling.
   Auto Change (Preserve Case): Changes the word automatically to the assigned spelling and preserves current word case.
   Change: Changes the word to the assigned spelling when you click Change.
   Change (Preserve Case): Changes the word to the assigned spelling and retains case when you click Change.
   Treat as misspelled: Flags the word as misspelled.

To add a word

1. In the Word field, type in robohelp (in lower case).

2. Select AutoChange.

3. In the Change To Word type: RoboHelp HTML.

4. Click Add.

5. Click OK, and Yes (to update the dictionary), and OK.

6. Go to a topic and type robohelp. It should appear red underlined.

7. When you press the spacebar, the word should change automatically to the word matching in the Personal Dictionary. All remaining instances of robohelp now appear with a wavy red underline. The word should appear on the Word list when you spell check, or when you right click over the misspelled word, as below:
