On the Language tab in the dialog box of the ribbon command File | Options 
, you can make settings for PlanMaker's spell check and hyphenation:
Language
Here, you can select the language to be used for spell check and hyphenation. To do so, open the dropdown list and select the desired language from the available options.
Note: Please note that there are two entries in this list for German:
▪"German (Germany)" stands for the new spelling (according to the 1996 German spelling reform in its last revision in 2006).
▪"German (Germany, old)", on the other hand, stands for the old spelling.
The same applies to "German (Austria)" and "German (Switzerland)".
Spell check
Here, you can make the following settings for the spell-check:
▪Check spelling as you type
| If you enable this option, PlanMaker will check the spelling of text as you type. As soon as you make a mistake, a dialog box will appear to facilitate a correction. For more information, see Check spelling as you type. |
| Note: If this option is disabled, you don't have to do without a spell check – you can always start it manually with the ribbon command Review | Spell check. For more information, see Manual spell check. |
▪Beep on errors
| When this option is enabled, PlanMaker issues a warning tone when it encounters an unknown word while Check spelling as you type. |
▪Ignore words that start with a number
| If you enable this option, the spell check ignores all words that start with a number (for example, "1980s"). |
▪Hunspell dictionaries
FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not include the premium SoftMaker dictionaries normally shipped with SoftMaker Office. Only Hunspell dictionaries can be used here.
Only Hunspell dictionaries for English and German are already installed. If you need more languages, see Installing Hunspell dictionaries.
| As an alternative to its own dictionaries, SoftMaker Office also supports the use of Hunspell dictionaries. These dictionaries are available as free downloads. Most of them were created by private users or non-profit organizations. |
| The Hunspell dictionaries button allows you to install downloaded Hunspell dictionaries and also set the languages for which Hunspell dictionaries are to be used. |
