The easyreader spellchecker is great and clever but should really
only be used with one paragraph at a time. Also note it's not great
at maintaining any fancy text formatting so you should avoid
spellchecking a paragraph with different bits of formatting. Try it
out on a copy of your document to get a feel for how it works.
Also there is an important (but rare) bug you should be aware of when
using the spellchecker which is easy to avoid.
This problem only seems to apply to Verbs.
When doing a spellcheck double clicking on red words causes a list of
options to appear.
To fix the spelling error tick on the correct word from this list.
This is fine.
You can also click on the word to see its meaning. This is fine.
If you click on a word to see it's meaning you will get an answer
box. You can click on any word in this and it will insert this as a
correction. This is fine.
If the answer box is a verb clicking on the undercored '1' will take
you to the cojugation of the verb. Normally in er dragging across the
desired verb conjugation will insert it in your document. In this
instance instead of fixing the misspell in the spellchecker it will
replace the whole of the spellcheck area in your original document.
So, all you have to remember is don't get too clever when doing a
spellcheck. Only go as far as the answer box to find fixes for verbs.
Does anyone have comments on spellchecking?
