Customize a Spelling Dictionary

You can customize a spelling dictionary to indicate the action that is performed on specific words. For example, you can add the word "erwin" to a dictionary and indicate that the word is ignored (skipped) during a spell check.

Other options allow you indicate that a specific word is replaced with another word during the spell check operation. For example, you could indicate the instances of the word "erwin" be replaced with the word "erwin".

You can also indicate if the change is automatic (change without a prompt) or conditioned (prompt you to confirm the change).

You can build your dictionary over time, and add or delete words and the associated action when necessary. You can use the Import option to import an external text file into the dictionary word list, and use the Export option to export a text file of the dictionary word list. You can also add a dictionary file created in another copy of erwin® Data Modeler and save it with the active dictionary.
