Info

Installing Hunspell dictionaries Additionally, all SoftMaker Office applications support the use of free Hunspell dictionaries, which can be downloaded free of charge at www.softmaker.com. To install a Hunspell dictionary, use the Tools > Options command, Language property sheet. Choosing a different dictionary for a language In case you have installed more than one dictionary for a certain language (e.g. a SoftMaker dictionary and a Hunspell dictionary), you can switch between these dictionaries anytime. Read the last section for details. For detailed information, see the pages that follow. Installing additional SoftMaker dictionaries FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not include any of the premium Soft- Maker dictionaries normally shipped with SoftMaker Office. However, as an alternative, the spell checker supports the use of free Hunspell dictionaries. For information on installing additional Hunspell dictionaries, see the next section (“Installing Hunspell dictionaries”). SoftMaker Office is shipped with elaborate dictionaries for numerous languages. To install any of these dictionaries after the main installation, proceed as follows: 1. Launch the setup program (that you have been using to install SoftMaker Office) once again. If you obtained SoftMaker Office on CD-ROM, you will find the setup program in the root folder of the CD. If you obtained SoftMaker Office by download, simply launch the setup program that you have downloaded. In case you have deleted it meanwhile, download the setup program one more time. For instructions on how to do this, see the e-mail that you received from us after purchasing the software. 2. After several dialog windows that you can simply confirm you will get to a dialog with the following options: Change, Repair, and Remove. Click on Change. 3. Another dialog appears, listing all individual components of SoftMaker Office. In this list, open the category Proofing Tools by double-clicking on it. 4. You are now presented a list of all languages supported by the language tools in SoftMaker Office. 554 Customizing TextMaker Manual TextMaker
When you click on the icon displayed in front of a language, options for installing the corresponding language will be displayed. For each language that you want to install, choose the option Will be installed on local hard drive. 5. When you have made your selections, click on the Next button until the installation procedure begins. The selected dictionaries will now be installed. Installing Hunspell dictionaries FreeOffice: SoftMaker FreeOffice does not include any of the premium Soft- Maker dictionaries normally shipped with SoftMaker Office. However, as an alternative, the spell checker supports the use of free Hunspell dictionaries. In a standard installation, only Hunspell dictionaries for English and German are installed. In case you want to add additional languages, follow the procedure described below. 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. Hunspell dictionaries are available for very many languages. In case you don’t find a SoftMaker dictionary for a certain language, it might be worth checking if a Hunspell dictionary is available for that language. For a list of all Hunspell dictionaries supported by SoftMaker Office, visit the “Download” area of our website www.softmaker.com. You can also download the dictionaries there, free of charge. To download and install a Hunspell dictionary, proceed as follows: 1. With your web browser, navigate to: www.softmaker.com 2. In the “Download” area, navigate to the free Hunspell dictionaries. 3. You are now presented a list of all Hunspell dictionaries that SoftMaker Office supports. Download the dictionary of interest and store it on your hard disk. 4. Launch any SoftMaker Office application (TextMaker, PlanMaker, or Presentations). 5. Invoke the Tools > Options command and switch to the Language property sheet.
