Many of the note sections (exam module) and some text field in Filopto incorporate a Spell Checker feature. The spell checker feature will automatically highlight (wavy red underlining of misspelled words) misspelled words giving the user the opportunity to correct them. By right clicking on the misspelled word, a pop up will be displayed listing possible spellings for the given word. A user can add or ignore a word as well as define the spelling rules options the speller is to use by selecting the Spelling option in the drop down.
SPELL CHECKER OPTIONS
Located in the Spelling option of the drop down, users can customize the Spell Checker to meet their needs. For example a user can add words commonly misspelled in the auto correct section and the spell checker will make automatically the correction when the word is detected. Also located in the pop up dialogue is the Spelling option which displays additional options that a user can define when activating the Spelling dialogue.
