Language tools

PlanMaker has a powerful spell check. This enables you to have the spelling of text checked and corrected. Automatic hyphenation is also available.

This chapter provides information on working with this tool. It consists of the following sections:

Setting the language

You can choose the ribbon command File | Options options_icon (Language tab) to set the language for the spell check and hyphenation.

Spell check

The spell check checks a document's text for typos and suggests corrections in the event of errors.

Hyphenation

Automatic hyphenation hyphenates long words at the end of lines. By default, it is active only in text frames, but you can also activate hyphenation for multi-line text in worksheet cells.

Auto correction

With Auto correction, you can have PlanMaker automatically correct typical careless mistakes when entering text – for example, if you often type "yuo" instead of "you". In addition, you will find many other useful auto correct functions here.

SmartText

You can use SmartText to define abbreviations for frequently used phrases – for example, "sd" for "sales department".
