This initiates the spell checking program - a program designed to help the user catch and correct any spelling errors. Clicking on this entry will start the checker and bring up the speller dialog box through which the user can control the process. There are three text boxes lined up vertically in the center of the dialog with their corresponding labels just to the left. Starting at the top they are:
Here, the spell checker indicates the word currently under consideration. This happens when the checker encounters a word not in its dictionary - a file containing a list of correctly spelled words against which it compares each word in the editor.
If the checker has any similar words in its dictionary the first one will be listed here. The user can accept the suggestion, type in his or her own correction, or choose a different suggestion from the next box.
The checker may list here a number of possible replacements for the word under consideration. Clicking on any one of the suggestions will cause that word to be entered in the Replacement: box, above.
On the right side of the dialog box are 6 buttons that allow the user to control the spell check process. They are:
This button has the checker replace the word under consideration in the document with the word in the Replacement: box.
This button causes the checker to replace not only the current Misspelled Word: but to automatically make the same substitution for any other occurences of this Misspelled Word: in the document.
Activating this button will have the checker move on without making any changes.
This button tells the checker to do nothing with the current Misspelled Word: and to pass over any other instances of the same word.
![]() | This only applies to the current spell check run. If the checker is run again later it will stop on this same word. |
Pressing this button adds the word in the Misspelled Word: box to the checker's dictionary. This means that in the future the checker will always consider this word to be correctly spelled.
This button stops the spell check process.
Located horizontally along the bottom of the spell check dialog is a progress bar. As the checking process proceeds the bar will fill from left to right providing a graphical representation of how far along in the document the process has reached. In addition, the progress is displayed numerically in the center of the progress bar.
![]() | A numerical display of the spell check process is simultaneously displayed in the status bar of the editor. The status bar is the horizontal strip at the bottom of the editor just outside of the text entry area. |
Two more buttons are located below the progress bar. They are:
This invokes the KDE help system starting at the KEdit help pages (this document).
This button cancels the spell check process.
