Correcting words with old German spellings
As explained in the last section, if you have turned on the Underline old German
spelling in blue option, German words whose spellings were changed by the

click with the right mouse button on the word in order to bring up the context
menu of the spell checker.
This menu contains the following items:

Function
All spellings that are correct (according to the reformed German
spelling rules) are displayed in the upper part of the menu. If you
click on one of them, TextMaker will replace the word in the text
with it.

section “The Info command of the spell checker”).
Ignores the mistake and removes the blue underline.
Use this option for words that are in fact correctly spelled but are
not to be added to the dictionary. When you exit TextMaker, it
forgets the list of ignored words.
Add Word

TextMaker remembers such words permanently; they are no

Note: Use the command Add Word only for those German words underlined in
blue that are in fact correctly spelled according to the new German spelling rules.
If you allow words with old spellings, rather than new spellings, to be added, you
will be supplying TextMaker with incorrectly spelled words.
