Language tools

PlanMaker has a powerful spell check. This allows you to have the spelling of text checked and corrected. Additionally, multiline text can be hyphenated automatically.

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

Setting the language

With the ribbon command File | Options options_icon (Language tab), the language for spell check and hyphenation can be set.

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 multiline text in table cells.

Research

Only available in SoftMaker Office Professional and NX Universal: Look up terms on online research platforms (Wikipedia, Oxford dictionary, Cambridge dictionary, etc.) directly from the document.

SmartText

FreeOffice: The SmartText function is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

You can use SmartText to automatically correct your "favorite typos" and define abbreviations for frequently used phrases – for example, "sd" for "sales department".
