Using spell check

Helix ALM includes a spell check utility that can be used with text fields. You can also add words to the dictionary or customize spell check options. See Managing the spell check dictionary or Setting spell check options.

1. Choose Edit > Spell Check or right-click the text field and select Spell Check. You can also click the Check Spelling button on the formatting toolbar in multi-line text fields.

The Check Spelling dialog box opens. Click Cancel to stop the spell check at any time.

2. Click Ignore to ignore a misspelled word or Ignore All to ignore all instances of the word.

3. Click Add Problem Word to add the word in the Problem word field to the dictionary.

4. Click Delete Duplicate to delete a duplicate word.

5. To fix a misspelled word, select a word from the Suggestions list. You can also edit the word in the Change to field.

If the spelling checker does not recognize a word, it tries to split the word into words it recognizes.

To search for replacement words, edit the word in the Change to field and click Suggest.

6. Click Change to use the selected suggestion or the edited word or Change All to change all instances of the misspelled word at once.

7. Click Save to save the changes.
