About this task

Procedure

  1. To spell check a Component, open a Component and select the General tab.
  2. Click the Check Spelling button on the editing toolbar.

    The SpellCheck pop-up appears. If errors are found, the word is highlighted in the Component and the SpellChecker offers suggested alternate spelling.

    If there are no errors, the popup displays a message indicating that the spell check is complete.

  3. If necessary, you can change the default language of the spell check using the Language options.
  4. For each detected error, you can use one of the following options:
    • Ignore: ignore the detected error and continue checking
    • Ignore all: ignore the detected error every time it appears in a text field in this Component
    • Change: use the default suggestion in the Change To field, select the suggestion that applies to the detected error, or type in your own spelling and click the Change button to change the detected error
    • Change all: use the default suggestion in the Change to field, select the suggestion that applies to the detected error, or type in your own spelling, and click the Change button to change the detected error every time the spell checker finds the word
    The word that appears in the Change To field is used to replace the spelling error.
  5. (Optional) If you wish to spell check metadata text field values, select the Metadata tab and repeat steps 2 to 4.
  6. Click the Close button.
