The Gobe Productive suite includes a 100,000 word spelling dictionary to help you catch pesky misspellings. The program also allows you to add your own words to the dictionary to cover all those slang and technical terms the dictionary does not have.
When checking the spelling in a document, the SpellBar is displayed. The SpellBar is a special addition to the PartBar exclusively used for spell checking.
The SpellBar
You can begin spell checking either from the beginning of the document or at the point where the cursor is in the text flow.
If you right click over a questionable word, you will get a 'Replace with' option with replacement suggestions.
- Select the word you want to use and click Replace. If you cannot find the correct replacement word, you may edit the word directly in the workspace.
- If you want the spell checker to ignore the word, click Skip.
- If you want to add the word to the currently active user dictionary, click Learn.
- To continue the spell checking from where the cursor is, click Continue.
- To restart spell-checking at the beginning of the document, click Begin.
- The spell checking process is halted while you are replacing and editing a word. If you do not want to restart the spell checking, continue working in the workspace. You can hide the SpellBar using the Hide SpellBar option on the Document, Spell Check submenu.
There is no limit to the number of user dictionaries you can have. However, only one dictionary can be active at any time. By default, the application comes with one user dictionary named UserDictionary.
Type the word in the Word field and click Add Word. The word is added to the dictionary.
Locate and select the word in the list and click Remove Word.
- Click Import Text... A standard BeOS open dialog box is displayed.
- Locate the file you wish to import and click Open.
- The new words are added to the dictionary.
- Click Export Text... A standard BeOS Save dialog box is displayed.
- Locate the folder where you want to place the exported file, enter a file name, and click Save.
- All the words in the dictionary are exported to the file. You can send the file to another user for them to import.
