- Needham. MA: Intex Solutions, Inc., the leading publisher and reseller of
- spreadsheet enhancements, today announced the first spelling checker
- designed specifically for Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3.1 and 3.1 + users.
- Spellin! for Release 3 will spellcheck all 256 sheets of a Release 3
- spreadsheet, or any single sheet or a highlighted range. Spellin! also
- offers grammatical assistance, including repeated word and improper
- capitalization correction. The add-in provides full mouse support, and is
- affordably priced at only $95, plus shipping.
-
- The new product is a companion to Intex's very popular spellchecking
- program for Lotus 1-2-3 Release 2 and Symphony. The two products,
- available separately, are designated Spellin! for Release 2 and Spellin!
- for Release 3.
-
- The tremendous interest in the company's spellchecking add-ins is a direct
- result of the changes in the way spreadsheets are being used these days,
- according to Marjorie Smith, Product Manager at Intex. "Now that most
- spreadsheet users have Allways, Impress or WYSIWYG spreadsheet publishing
- tools at their disposal, they are bringing more and more text into their
- worksheets. More text can also mean more embarrassing typos, typos that
- undermine the hard work that went into creating a spreadsheet," said Ms.
- Smith. "Spellin! gives them a way to make sure that attention is focused
- on the bottom line, not on a typo."
-
- Spellin! loads into Lotus 1-2-3 just like the WYSIWYG add-in. A familiar,
- Lotus-like menu makes Spellin! very easy to use. A comprehensive 90,000
- word dictionary provides a list of alternative words when the program
- encounters a misspelled word. Spellin! then allows the user to choose from
- that list, accept the word as is, ignore it or edit the word.
-
- And Spellin!, like many spelling checkers in word processing programs, lets
- users add words to one or more customized dictionaries, so users can
- continue to build the program's vocabulary.
-
- Pricing and System Requirements
-
- Spellin! for Release 3 runs with Lotus 1-2-3 Release 3.1 and 3.1 + and is
- available directly from Intex Solutions for $95, plus $5 shipping. The
- add-in requires 105K RAM in addition to normal 1-2-3 requirements.
- Registered users of Spellin! for Release 2 may "tradeup" to Release 3 for
- $45, with proof of purchase.
