Activate the Auto Correct Option

Activating the auto-correct feature of Spell Check is a two-part process: selecting the Auto correct misspelled words option in Spell Check options, and specifying "auto-correct actions" in one or more of the custom dictionaries. Both procedures are described below.

To select the auto-correct option

From the Options menu, select Global. The Maintain Global Options window appears.
Choose the Spelling tab.
Select the Auto correct misspelled words option.
Click OK. to close the Maintain Global Options window.

Note: Spell Check performs the automatic corrections by following the "auto-correct actions" that are specified in the custom dictionaries. For example, in order for Spell Check to automatically change “teh” to “the” it must be set up to do so in a custom dictionary.

To add auto-correct actions to a custom dictionary

From the Spelling tab of the Maintain Global Options window, select the Custom Dictionary button. The Custom Dictionaries window appears.
From the Files drop-down list, select the custom dictionary to which you want to add words and their associated auto-correct actions.
In the Words field, type a word as you commonly misspell it. (For example, you might enter teh here.)
In the Other word field, enter the correct spelling for the word. (For example, the.)
Select an auto-correct action from the Action drop-down list. Tell me more about the various choices?
Click the Add Word button. Spell Check adds the word and its associated action to the custom dictionary.
Continue adding words to the dictionary using the steps above. When finished, select the Close button.

In addition to using the auto-correct feature to replace one word with another, you can instruct Spell Check to ignore specified words. For example, if you enter "Bluegreen" in the Words field and select Ignore (skip) from the Actions list, Spell Check will treat Bluegreen as a correctly spelled word.
