Tools - Spelling

The spell-checker checks spelling in text regions, but not in math regions. The spell-checker considers a word misspelled when it is not found in its dictionary.

Changing the Spell-Checker Dictionaries

You may change the dictionary used in spell-checking your worksheets. To do so, go to the Languages tab of the Preferences dialog under the Tools menu. There are a choice of nine different dictionaries.

Note:

• To change the spell check dialect used, set the "Spell Check Dialect" on the same tab.

Check Spelling Dialog Box

The following options are available in the Check Spelling dialog box:

Not Found

This word was not found in the dictionary. It may be misspelled.

Change To

Lists suggested replacements for the misspelled word. Select one and click "Change" to replace the misspelled word with the selected replacement.

Ignore

Leaves the misspelled word as is. If you click "Ignore," the spell-checker ignores the word throughout the worksheet.

Change

Changes the misspelled word to the suggested replacement in the "Change To" box.

Add

Leaves the word as is, adds the word to your personal dictionary, and continues spell-checking. The spell-checker then considers it spelled correctly in the future.

Suggest

Shows additional but less likely replacements. If Mathcad can not offer additional suggestions, "Suggest" is unavailable.
