  Controlling What Gets Spell Checked



Users control what should be spell checked from:
  1. The Targets tab of the MapSpeller™ Options dialog. The Targets tab lets users decide:
    • Which objects to consider when spell-checking from the MapSpeller toolbar
    • If all records or only the selected records should be proofed when spell-checking from a table column header.


  2. The Exceptions tab of the MapSpeller Options dialog.


  3. The MapSpeller toolbar, where users can also focus on:.
    • The whole layout page, including all its data frames (maps)
    • The layout page, except any of its data frames
    • The focus map (active data frame).
 
Important Notes (Doesn't apply to table spell-checking)
 

  1. In addition, the MapSpeller engine will only spell check text that would print if sent to the ArcMap™ printer. Therefore, it only considers what is visible on, and laid onto, the layout page printable area. This provides users additional ways of controlling the amount of text that gets spell checked and to focus on what will actually be printed from the layout page, or exported as an image, Acrobat PDF file, etc. 

  2. To spell check the full extent of a data frame, simply zoom to that extent and run the spell-checker.
  3. The selection status of textual objects on the layout page or in maps has no effect on what is spell checked by the MapSpeller engine.
  4. Users should make sure that the target objects in the MapSpeller Options dialog and the target container on the MapSpeller toolbar are set correctly before starting the engine.
  5. The MapSpeller engine will not spell check:
    • Any object that is not laying at least partially on the layout page printable area
    • Text that resides outside of the visible extent of data frames
    • Text that is invisible because of scale dependencies.
  6. Printable areas are specific to the printer models and page sizes. The printer settings that are taken into consideration by the MapSpeller spell-checker are those that are set in ArcMap at the time the spell-checker is run.
