Spell check

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.

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

This section describes the different spell check tools in detail. The information covers the following topics:

Manual spell check

The manual spell check lets you check and correct possible spelling errors of the current worksheet.

Check spelling as you type

The Check spelling as you type checks each word you type immediately. When a typing mistake is detected, a dialog box that lets you correct the word pops up.

Editing user dictionaries

When you teach the spell check new words, they are added to your user dictionary. You can edit this dictionary at any time, for example, to delete incorrect entries.
