Checking Your Spelling Manually (Sponsored and Paid modes only) Eudora User Manual
38
QUALCOMM Incorporated
Note. For an alternate way to check your spelling, use the Shift+Check Spelling option on
the Eudora main window toolbar, which lets you see all misspelled words at once and
change only those you want to. See “Saving a Message for Later Changes” on page 41.
Also, if text is selected, Eudora checks the spelling only of the selected text. Otherwise, it
starts the spelling check from the beginning of the message body or text file and checks
the entire text.
If a misspelled, unknown, or repeated word is found, the Check Spelling dialog box
appears with the word listed in the Unknown field. If you want to send (or queue) the
message without correcting the misspelled word, click Just send.
The following dialog box appears only if the Warn me when sending/queueing message
with misspellings option is turned on. See “Spell Checking (Sponsored and Paid modes
only)” on page 215.
Check Spelling dialog box
To correct the misspelled word, take one of the following steps.
■ Type the correct spelling of the word in the Change To field (if it is not already there)
and click Change.
■ Select the correct word from the Suggestions list and click Change.
■ Double-click the correct word in the Suggestions list. The spelling checker then
proceeds with the check.
Check Spelling Dialog Box
The Check Spelling dialog box allows you to ignore an unknown word, change it, suggest
the correct spelling, add the word to your user dictionary, edit your dictionary, or change
the spelling options via the Options button. Each of the fields and buttons is described
below.
Just Send/Queue—Click to send or queue the current message that contains the
misspellings. The misspellings are not corrected before they are sent or queued.
Unknown—An unknown word is one that is not found in Eudora’s built-in dictionary or
your own custom dictionary. You can act on an unknown word using the Ignore, Ignore all,
Change, Change all, or Add buttons as described below.
