|
Version 3.0
(3.0.3080) Released March 9, 2010 |
|
At version 3.0, MapSpeller adds
table-spell-checking capabilities. MapSpeller spell checks and

attribute tables conventionally and/or spatially.
Layer labels and
geodatabase annotations can easily be spell checked through their
attribute tables.

|
Version 2.1 Released June 10, 2009 |
|
At MapSpeller version 2.1,
- All supported textual objects are spell checked
regardless of grouping. Map and layout annotations, legends,
scale bars, scale text objects are spell checked (if requested)
regardless of the fact that they may stand alone or may have been
grouped with other objects. There is no limitation, including
regarding the depth or level of grouping, or the amount of objects
being grouped.
- Users have the flexibility in selecting the coordinate system of
their personal Locationary. This became an issue for some users when
ESRI released ArcGIS 9.3.
- An error has been fixed that may have occurred when the ArcMap
Customize dialog was opened.
