On the Spell check settings page, you can set options and define a custom dictionary. Your options are unique to your user name and do not affect other users in the program.
| • | To ignore words in all uppercase letters, such as PSAT or ACT, select Ignore words in UPPERCASE. |
| • | To ignore words that are spelled correctly but have unusual capitalization, such as iPad, select Ignore case. |
Note: If you select Ignore case, the Ignore words in UPPERCASE checkbox clears and disables. You cannot select both options.
| • | To ignore Internet and email addresses, such as "www.blackbaud.com," select Ignore internet addresses. |
| • | To ignore words containing both letters and numbers, such as "Test1," select Ignore words with numbers. |
| • | The custom dictionary enables you to enter unusual or custom words you use commonly to assist the spell check in proofing your content correctly. For example, the spell check may not recognize the name of your school. Enter the school name to have the spell check correctly proof the name in Faculty Access for the Web. To enter a new word, select a row in the table and click New or hit the Tab key. When you finish entering words, click Save. |
You can check the spelling of assignment descriptions, assignment grade comments, marking column grade comments, class notes, attendance comments, student notes, student infraction notes, class announcements, and emails.
Tip: You can also press F7 to access the spell check. If you use Mozilla Firefox, you need to add your Faculty Access for the Web URL address to your allowed pop-up sites for this to work. For more information, see Enable pop-ups in Mozilla Firefox or Enable pop-ups in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
