   Strict initial alef hamza ignores spelling rules regarding words beginning with an alef hamza. When selected, the spelling checker will not distinguish between alefs with or without hamzas.

   Hebrew modes

   Full designates the conventional script required by the Hebrew Language Academy for writing text without diacritics.

   Partial designates the traditional script that is currently used only for text with diacritics.

   Mixed accepts any word, whether in Full or Partial script, or any nonconventional spelling variation. This mode highlights as potential mistakes only completely unrecognized words and typing errors.

   Mixed authorized accepts words in both Full and Partial script, but highlights as potential mistakes any variation not permitted by either.
