The MapSpeller spell checker only spell checks the text that is
visible on, and laid onto, the layout page. This is done because the
amount of text in data frames can be very large and the most common
reason for using MapSpeller is to spell check layout pages before
printing. In such case, there is no point in spell checking what
will not print. Therefore, the MapSpeller engine will not spell
check:
- Text that resides outside of the visible extent of data
frames
- Data frames that are not laying on the layout page
- Text that is invisible because of scale dependencies.
There is however a caveat to this. Because of a
known defect
in ArcMap, MapSpeller has to actually consider the extent of
data frames in the data view, not the layout view. This might create
situations where the text being spell checked is not exactly what is
visible on the layout page. Typically more text would be spell
checked. If some text is scale-dependent, it may actually not be
visible in the layout view but still being spell checked.
To spell check the whole extent of a data frame, simple zoom to
that extent and run the spell checker. |
