Use the Spelling Checker to verify the spelling of text that you enter in an e-mail or chat interaction. The spelling of the contents of an outgoing e-mail, SMS, or chat interaction is verified against the default language dictionary.
If the Auto-Spell-Check option is enabled in Configuration Manager, the Spelling Checker starts automatically when you click Send.
If the Auto-Spell-Check option is not
enabled, you must click the Spelling
Checker button ( ) to start the Spelling Checker.
The Spelling Checker steps through the text of your reply and highlights potentially misspelled words one-by-one. You can replace the highlighted word with another word from a list of suggestions, replace it with a word that you type in the Word text box, add it to your custom dictionary, or ignore it.
Spell Checker has Replace All and Ignore All options, so that all subsequent instances of the highlighted word in the current interaction will either be replaced with the specified correction or removed from consideration.
If the Auto-Spell-Check option is enabled, click Send; otherwise, (if the Auto-Spell-Check
option is disabled), click the Spelling Checker button (
).
The Spelling Checker pane appears in the Outgoing E-Mail or Chat form if there are any potentially misspelled words. The first potentially misspelled word is highlighted in red.
Potentially misspelled words are highlighted in the Original text box; they also appear in the Word box.
Do one of the following:
Select a word from the Suggestions list,and then click Replace.
To replace all instances of this word, click Replace All.
Click Ignore if you want to retain the spelling that appears in the Word box.
To ignore all instances of this word, click Ignore All.
Click Add if you want to add the spelling that appears in the Word box to your personal dictionary.
If you do not see the correct spelling in the Suggestions list, type the correct spelling into the Word text box, and then click Replace or Replace All.
When the Spelling Checker finishes:
If you are using the Auto-Spell-Check option, the e-mail or chat text is sent as soon as the spelling check is complete.
If you are manually checking the spelling, click Close to return to the Outgoing E-Mail or Chat form. The text is updated to reflect the changes that you made during the spelling check.
To interrupt a spelling check before it is complete, do one of the following:
If you are using the Auto-Spell-Check option, click Send to send your e-mail or chat text immediately.
If you are manually checking the spelling, click Close to return to the Outgoing E-Mail or Chat form. Then, when you are ready to send the interaction, click Send.
