Flashing Potential Typos

	POTENTIAL Typos can be highlighted/Flashed in a number of ways: By Left-Clicking Clicking on the right mouse button while the mouse cursor is over a row in the Potential Typos dialog will flash the misspelled object in the active view and/or the source table, whichever is applicable. BY Left-Clicking & Holding Pressing the left mouse button over a row keeps the potential typo highlighted in the active view and/or source table (whichever is applicable). Releasing the mouse button removes the highlight. Users can take more time searching for the location of the potentially misspelled word by holding down the left button.
	BY Right-Clicking Clicking on the right mouse button over a row in the Potential Typos dialog displays the row's context menu and one of the following based on the type of misspelled object: Highlight the object in error in the active view Highlight the feature in its attribute table and in the active view Highlight the record cell in a standalone table

Important Notes

The whole target object containing the potentially misspelled word is flashed. Only a single potential typo can be flashed at a time. When spell-checking a table, the active view (layout or data view) will be in the background and can be used to help users determine what to do with potential errors in field values when the table is spatial table (typically a feature class). Users may or may not care about the current extent/content of the active view, including the layout page. Therefore, the MapSpeller Options dialog lets users decide if the extent of the map containing the layer associated with the potential typo should be changed by the software in order to display that typo. If the answer is No and the typo is not in the currently visible extent, it won't flash.
