Performing a Spelling Check

The HTML editor has a built-in spelling checker for texts in several languages. You perform a spelling check by clicking the corresponding button in the toolbar of the HTML editor.

If the spelling checker does not find any unknown or questionable words, a corresponding message is displayed. Otherwise, the questionable words are marked in the editor and a dialog box window opens in which you can have it corrected or you can search for an alternative:

The input elements and buttons in this dialog box have the functions described in the following overview:

Input Element Function
Not in Dictionary This entry field contains the current word to be checked.
Change / Change All The Change entry field contains the word the spelling checker suggests as a replacement to the word not found in the dictionary. Using the Change button, you can accept the replacement word into the text in the HTML editor. The word marked in the editor is overwritten. Using the Change All button, you can replace all the instances of the corrected word.
Suggestions / Suggest The words the spelling checker has found as an alternative to the word entered are displayed in the Suggestions list. If you enter a different word in the entry field Not in dictionary and then click on the button Suggest, the list is updated.

The list of available spelling-checking dictionaries can be configured by a CMS administrator.
