MapSpeller™: Spell Checking Grouped Graphics

Proofing Grouped Graphics

Data frames, layout annotations, legends, scale bar and scale text objects can be regrouped into what are called grouped graphics. This ensures that all the objects of a group keep their locations relative to the other objects of the group constant, making it easier to reposition these objects together. This grouping can be repeated any number of times as illustrated here with annotations. Once grouped, map and layout annotations, legends and scale objects behave somewhat differently from their standalone counterparts. All textual objects supported by MapSpeller will be spell checked when requested, regardless of their belonging to groups or not. There is no limitation, including regarding the depth or level of grouping, or the amount of objects being grouped. Automatically spell checking grouped graphics down to their individual objects within grouped graphics is very convenient as it enables users to spell check such objects without having to ungroup them first and then regroup them once the spell checking process is over.

Important Notes

The selection status of textual objects on the layout or in maps (as shown on the illustrations above) has no effect on what gets spell-checked by MapSpeller, but the position of objects on or outside of the layout page has.
