Tip: If you want to employ more than one language in a document, you can use the
Format > Character command to format any particular segment of text in a
different language. You can read more about this in the section “Setting the language”
(page 298).
Spell-checking
Here you can configure the spell-checker. Settings available:
Use background spell checking
If you activate this option, the entire document will be continuously scanned for
spelling errors in the background. Incorrectly spelled words are indicated with
wavy red underlines and can be corrected at any time. See section “Background
spell checking” (page 304).
Note: When this option is turned off, you can still check the spelling in a
document using the manual spell-checker. To launch it, use the Tools > Check
Spelling command. See section “Manual spell checking” (page 303).
Underline old German spelling in blue (new German spelling only)
When this option is enabled, the background spell checker additionally underlines
in blue all German words that are correct according to the old German
spellings but should be spelled differently to conform to the new, reformed
spellings. See section “Conversion to new German spelling” beginning on page
307.
Note: This option affects only text in the language “German (Germany)” or
“German (Switzerland)”.
Hunspell dictionaries
FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not include any of the premium
SoftMaker dictionaries normally shipped with SoftMaker Office. Its spell
checker supports solely the use of Hunspell dictionaries.
In a standard installation, only Hunspell dictionaries for English and German
are installed. If you want to add additional languages, refer to the section
“Installing Hunspell dictionaries”.
As an alternative to its own dictionaries, SoftMaker Office also supports the use
of Hunspell dictionaries. These dictionaries are available as free downloads.
Most of them were created by private users or non-profit organizations.
