You can spell-check the text fields of Components and of many other types of content items. You cannot spell-check values in date fields, number fields, link fields, or list fields. You also cannot spell-check Folders, Structure Groups, Categories, Keywords or Publications.
Procedure
- Do one of the following:
- To spell-check the data text fields of a Component or the text fields of a Page, Page Template, Component Template, Template Building Block, Bundle or Virtual Folder, open the item and select its General tab.
- To spell-check the metadata text fields of a Component, open it and select its Metadata tab.
- Click the Check Spelling button on the Home Ribbon toolbar.
The SpellChecker pop-up opens. If errors are found, the word is highlighted in the item dialog and SpellChecker offers one or more suggested alternate spellings.
If there are no errors, the popup displays a message indicating that the spell-check is complete.
- If necessary, you can change the default language of the spell-check using the Language option.
Note: If you change the default language during a spell-check, SpellChecker rechecks the spelling using the selected language, including any previously checked words. SpellChecker also remembers the selected language for the duration of the browser session. For example, if you spell-check a Component and check the spelling of the Component in German, then open another Component and spell-check it, the spell-check language will initially also be German. If you close your browser, the language will be reset to the default spell-check language.
- 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 item
- 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 SpellChecker finds the word
The word that appears in the Change To field is used to replace the spelling error.
- Click the Close button.
