Language tools
TextMaker offers a spell check feature, a hyphenator, a thesaurus, and other powerful
language tools. (Depending on your chosen language, you may have only the
hyphenation feature, or the hyphenation and spell check features.)
This chapter provides information on working with these tools, as follows:
Setting the language
The default language for spell checker, hyphenator and thesaurus can be set
with the command Tools > Options (Language property sheet).
In addition, with Format > Character you can designate a segment of text to
be in any other language you like. You can do this, for example, when you use a
Spanish language citation in a document you are writing in English.
Spell checking
The spell checker examines the text in your document for spelling mistakes.
When it finds mistakes, it suggests corrections.
Hyphenation
The hyphenator automatically hyphenates long words at the ends of lines. For
more information on this feature, see the section “Hyphenation” (beginning on
page 79).
Thesaurus
FreeOffice: This feature is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
The thesaurus is a tool that lets you quickly find terms in a synonym dictionary
with equivalent or similar meanings of the word you are looking for. This feature
helps you express yourself precisely and avoid repetition.
Berlitz translation dictionaries

translation dictionaries, enabling you to translate words from/to five languages
