Spell check

FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not include the premium SoftMaker dictionaries normally shipped with SoftMaker Office. Only Hunspell dictionaries can be used here.

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 in an entire document.

Checking the spelling as you type

The option Check spelling as you type constantly checks all text in the document for spelling errors. Misspelled words have red wavy underlines. They can be corrected manually or via a context menu with suggested words.

Conversion to the new German spelling

If you compose documents in German, the option "Check spelling as you type" can also help you to apply the reformed German spelling rules.

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.
