Spell Check Answers

You can spell check text answers you have entered at any time during an interview.

To spell check your answers

  1. At the HotDocs library window, select a template and begin assembling the document. (See Assemble a Text or Form Document.)
  2. After providing the required answers, click the Check Spelling button. If HotDocs finds any unrecognized words, the Check Spelling dialog box appears. In the Answer being checked field, HotDocs shows a section of the text that contains the misspelled word, which is highlighted. Options for working with the misspelled word appear below it.
  3. Make your selection, based on the options described in the following table:
To Do This
Ignore the current instance of the word and continue spell checking Click Ignore.
Ignore all instances of the word and continue spell checking Click Ignore All.
Correct only the current instance of the word and continue spell checking Select an existing replacement from the Change to list (or type the replacement in the Change to field) and click Change.
Correct all instances of the misspelled word and continue spell checking Select an existing replacement from the Change to list (or type the replacement in the Change to field) and click Change All.
Add the word to your personal dictionary so that the spelling checker will not question the word again Click Add.
Display additional spelling alternatives for the unrecognized word Click Suggest.

A deeper search takes longer but produces better possible replacements. If the button is unavailable, HotDocs is searching at the deepest level.

Change your spell checking options, such as which words the spelling checker looks at and how it determines whether a word is a possible replacement Click Options. (You can also change your options at the HotDocs Options dialog box. See Change Your Spell Checking Options.)
