Spell Checker (Word Spell) Spell Checker comes with a built-in dictionary of about 95,000 English words. When checking your text, Spell Checker compares each word with the contents of the built-in dictionary. If a word is not found in the built-in dictionary, the word processor assumes that the word in question is misspelled and warns you. The built-in dictionary contains only standard English words, and considers words like brand names, people's names, or foreign language words as misspelled words, even if those words are correct. If you frequently use such words in your document, you should create a "User Dictionary" and store those words in that dictionary. The user dictionary is kept in the memory for as long as the power is on. When a word cannot be found in the built-in dictionary, Spell Checker scans the user dictionary and warns you if the word cannot be found there. When a word cannot be found in either dictionary, Spell Checker gives you a menu of options: • You can IGNORE the warning and keep the suspect word unchanged. • You can ask for SUGGESTIONS. In this case, Spell Checker gives possible replacement word(s) for the suspect word. • You can also directly RETYPE the word correctly. Use this option when the error is evident and easy to correct or when the system cannot provide the correct suggestion. • You can ADD the suspect word to the user dictionary. This is useful when the suspect word, although correct, is not a standard English word. Once the word is stored in the user dictionary, Spell Checker does not warn you the next time the same word is found. Spell Checker also detects double words (you typed the same word twice). When this happens, a menu of options appears: • You can IGNORE the warning and keep the repeated word in the text. ▪ You can automatically ERASE the SECOND WORD. NOTE: This system is not a replacement for careful proofreading of your documents. It has no way of knowing, for example, whether words are missing or whether a given word is appropriate for the current context. If you type "teh" instead of "the," spell checker alerts you because "teh" is not an English word, but if you type "one" instead of "on," it does not consider it a mistake. 126 Grammar Check
