By default, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 checks spelling automatically as
you type, using wavy red underlines to indicate possible spelling problems. You
can also check all spelling errors at once.
Check spelling automatically as you type
- Make sure the
automatic spelling
checker is turned on.
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling tab.
- Select the Check spelling as you type check box.
- Type into the form.
- Right-click each word that has a wavy red underline, and then select the command or the spelling alternative you want on the shortcut menu.
- On the
Standard toolbar, click
Spelling
. - In the Spelling task pane, click Find Next.
- When Office InfoPath 2003 encounters a possible misspelled word, select the appropriate command or spelling alternative.
- To continue checking the form, click Find Next.
If you use InfoPath with multiple languages enabled, and you want to check the spelling of text that is written in another language, you must switch to the dictionary for that language. For more information, see Check spelling in other languages.
Notes
- When designing a form, you can specify where in the form users are allowed to check their spelling. For example, you can turn on the spelling checker for text boxes, but turn it off for lists.
- When filling out a form, the spelling checker checks only text that is typed into a field that allows a spelling check and does not check text that is part of the form's design.
