How To Make a Spelling Correction

You enter spelling corrections through the Change To: box. You can get text into this box in several ways.

  1. Simply enter the correct word.
  2. Hit the Change button. This will copy the incorrect word to the Change To: box. You can then edit the word.
  3. Double click on the misspelled word in the document. This will copy the incorrect word to the Change To: box. You can then edit the word.
  4. Ask Excalibur to suggest a correction by hitting the Suggest button. If you see the correct spelling in the list of words that Excalibur presents, double click on it. This will copy the correct word into the Change To: box.

To complete the change operation, hit the Change button.

Helpful hint: If the Change To: box is empty, then Excalibur uses the flagged word to create its suggestion list. If the Change To: box has text in it, Excalibur uses that text as a basis for its suggestion list. So, if Excalibur doesn't give you a suggestion that you like, hit the Change button to copy the flagged word into the Change To: box. Then change its spelling slightly and hit Suggest again.
