Diagram Designer	Spell Check

Diagram Designer's spell check tool checks spelling of all text in objects. Spell check requires that a valid dictionary be installed, and that the dictionary path is set in the Options dialog; an error message will result if no dictionary is found.

The initial dialog shows the default language (changeable if more than one dictionary is installed) and some spell check options, namely:

Check only the active layer - if box is unchecked, all layers will be checked.
Skip symbols - don't try to spell check non-words (eg. mathematical symbols, etc.)

Once options are set, the button will commence the spell check.

If the spell checker finds a mis-spelled word (as in the image to the right), the user is presented with a detailed list of possible correct spellings. 3 choices exist at this time:

the word is spelled correctly; press to add the word to the dictionary. New words added to the dictionary are not added to the main dictionary file; a separate file is created (eg. english.user.dic) which may be edited or deleted.

highlight the correct spelling from the Suggestions box, and press to replace the word
type a new spelling the the top-most box (Not in dictionary:) and press to replace the word

The spell check tool issues a message when complete, press to close the dialog.
