Using spelling tools

CaseMap includes more than one spelling feature to ensure that spreadsheet field text is correct, or corrected for you, as you type.

 

Spelling tools include:

Spelling — A spell-check tool that verifies the correct spelling of a word in a text and description fields (except object short  names).
Live Spell Checking — A spelling feature that automatically underlines text (red, wavy line) that is not recognized by one of the CaseMap dictionaries. Right-click on one of these words to display a pop-up window with suggestions of possible corrections.
Autocorrect and Dual Initial Cap — A spelling feature that recognizes when two capital letters are used consecutively or when common words are accidently misspelled. If you accidently type "teh", the Autocorrect tool automatically changes the text to "the". If you accidently type "THe", the Dual Initial Cap tool automatically shifts to second capital letter to lowercase.
Dictionary — A standard English dictionary that also includes legal and medical term dictionaries. The legal dictionary is on be default, the medical dictionary is not. You can turn the medical dictionary on and make other changes to spelling and autocorrect settings by selecting Spelling and Autocorrect Options on the Tools menu.

The red, wavy lines that appear below unrecognized terms (e.g. abcdefghijklm) only display while you are working in a note. Once you leave a note, the red, wavy lines do not display even if the term remains unrecognizable.
