IDM – Dictionary Publishing System – Editor's documentation The Defining Vocabulary The DPS Administrator can associate a list of words that are allowed to use in the content of selected elements. The purpose is to restrict the words used in definitions ( or examples ) to a relevant semantic field. When a word that does not belong to the Defining Vocabulary is used in such an element, it is underlined in red: Your DPS administrator may provide an element in the DTD associated with the task file to bypass the Defining Vocabulary restrictions. Type any well spelled text in a definition (DEF) field, then press ENTER. Notice how the word is underlined if it doesn't belong to the Defining Vocabulary. Searching text / elements You can search through a task file and the structure of the tree view using a dedicated search window. Press CTRL-F from anywhere in the application to launch the box: To perform a search within the document: 1. enter a specific word or character string in the Search field, or leave it blank if you are only looking for a specific element, regardless to it's content, 2. select an element in the In and / or Parent drop-down lists, if you want to target your search to specific elements, 3. choose a search direction (Up or Down) from the current cursor position, selecting the appropriate radio button in the Direction frame, 4. if the search is to be case-sensitive (i.e. distinguishing upper case and lower case characters) check the Case-sensitive check box, 5. check the Wrap at the end of file check box, if you wish to restart the search process at the beginning of the file when the end is reached. Select any element in the tree view, and press CTRL-F. Enter an element name in the search field ( for example an entry name ) and click Next. Click Cancel once you have found an element matching the string you entered. Copyright IDM 2003-2004 Page 12 / 27
IDM – Dictionary Publishing System – Editor's documentation Check Spelling A standard spell checker can be associated to one or more elements. The spell checker automatically opens if the field contains possibly misspelled or non-existent words at validation time, and it suggests the most relevant words to replace them (i.e. those that are closest to the word not found in the spell checker dictionary). In the example above, the word “mesage” has been misspelled with only one “s”; the spell checker catches the error and the Check Spelling dialog box is displayed. Notice that the closest word is highlighted among a list of several alternatives. The Check Spelling dialog box contains several fields, which quote the current misspelled word (first text box) and show its position within the examined content (at the bottom), and suggest several alternative words you can choose from. Clicking the appropriate button on the right, you can either: • I gnore the proposal for each misspelled word (confirmation required), • Ignore All proposals for every misspelled word encountered in the field, • C hange the active word and replace it by the highlighted suggestion or • Change All misspelled words with the most relevant suggestion. Intentionally misspell a word and use the spell checker to correct it. Copyright IDM 2003-2004 Page 13 / 27
