Re: Spell Checker Annoyance?
Hi Nick, It's when I spell check a document that I download from another location that the problem appears. How do you spell check in TB a document downloaded from another location? You copy-paste it into a message editing window, or...? -- Best regards, Ming-Li Using The Bat! 1.45 S/MIME under Win2k -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

This reminds me of a question that I've been meaning to ask for a while: Just how does the Auto Correction Feature work. It's my understanding that if I type the word "teh", it should automatically correct it to "the" if it appears in the dictionary. However, it doesn't. And yes, the option is selected. What am I missing here? Thanks.

Hello dMb, On Saturday, July 29, 2000 at 20:57:16 GMT -0400 (which was 5:57 PM where I live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] typed: Just how does the Auto Correction Feature work. It's my understanding that if I type the word "teh", it should automatically correct it to "the" if it appears in the dictionary. If you notice, some misspelled words are underlined with triangular waves, and others with square waves. If you double right click on the square wave words, then they change. This is a plus and a minus. It is a plus when you intentionally want to misspell a word, like in your example above. It has the obvious disadvantage that it is not intuitive. This is especially true if one is used to MS Word's implementation of "autocorrection." -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! 1.45 S/MIME under Windows 98 4.10 Build A -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Nope. It will indicate that the word is spelt incorrectly as you type, indicating this through a squiggly line under the word involved. If you type obvious typos, then the appearance of the squiggly line is different and in that instance double right-clicking on the word will lead to an auto-correction. The change in appearance will appear with mistypes as 'recieve' or 'teh' or 'yuo'. Double right click and the correction will be made without your having to select from a drop down list. -- -=A.C.
