Symptom
Spell Check does not seem to make any corrections, even for words that I know are spelled wrong.
Cause
Make sure that the text on your plate matches your options. For example: if you have selected the option to IGNORE WORDS IN ALL CAPS and all of your layout text is UPPERCASE, spellcheck will not recognize words that are spelled incorrectly.
Otherwise there may be configuration information missing. See the Resolution below.
Workaround / Resolution
First thing to check is the assigned dictionary inside the XGW application.
- Select the TEXT menu.
- Select OPTIONS from the SPELL CHECK section of the menu.
- Look for an assigned dictionary in the Main Dictionary Language drop down. American English should be selected.
- Make sure at least some of the optional check boxes are selected. Auto Correct should be enabled.
If no dictionaries are listed, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the directory c:\xenetech32\dictionaries. There should be 7 or more files present. If there are not, you can download the necessary files from our website at this link:
ftp://ftp.xenetech.com/DOWNLOAD/utils/Dictionaries/
If the files are already present on your computer, you may be missing the configuration information for spellcheck.
You can install these settings by manually editing the registry, or by downloading a .reg file that you can double-click once copied to your computer in order to load these settings.
To download the reg file, click here: ftp://ftp.xenetech.com/DOWNLOAD/utils/spell.reg
To manually edit the registry with these values, open notepad and copy the following data. Save the file as spell.reg and then close notepad. Double-click on the newly created reg file to install.
