Word Delimiters in Spell Checking
« on: November 13, 2006, 08:23:15 pm »
We've been setting up a user dictionary which contains all the "names" from the model. We then plan to use this to enforce correct use of the names in notes.

We've noticed that '_',  ':'  characters are delimiters, and the words on each side of the delimiter are checked as expected.

We've also noticed that the '.' character is not a delimiter. This is an issue.

We have two options that we can think of:

1. Insert all combinations of name1.name2 in the dictionary
2. Request delimiters be configurable.

Does anyone know any other options?

While I'm on the topic, the spelling options are only available when you have found the first spelling error - this is a little irritating.

"Computer says yes..."

(with apologies to Little Britain  ;))

Help file identifies Wintertree (WSpell ActiveX by the look of it)
