Spell-checking odd behaviour
Hi all, In our user guide we have a customized arrow. To apply it in the user guide, the writer has to type '}' and then apply a character format to that character. The Character format uses a customized font which means that the '}' is transformed into a nice-looking arrow. When I spell-check, the spell-checker stops at every arrow as the character is included in the Space before field in the Spelling Checker Options dialog. So to avoid this (we have a lot of arrows in the user guide) I set Languge to None for the specific character format. And this works fine, almost(!). Now the problem: When the character with the special character format is positioned first in a paragraph, the spell-checker does not check the other words in the paragraph. You get the feeling that if the first character/word in a paragraph is set to Language=None the whole paragraph is set to Language=None. Have you seen this before? Anyone have a solution? I guess you could remove the '}' from the Space before field but then you won't find incorrect usage of '}' Best Regards /Henrik ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

Henrik-- Two alternatives: 1. Define a new para type of arrow, and then set the arrow char. to be the autonumber. 2. Define a new para type of arrow, and set it to be a run-in head.

RE: Spell-checking odd behaviour
Partial solution... Everywhere you have the arrow place a hardspace (Ctrl+Space) before it. This outsmarts the space before options in spell checker, but doesn't help you when the arrow is the first character in a paragraph... -- melanie raney -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Evanth, Henrik Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 8:48 AM To: framers@FrameUsers.com Subject: Spell-checking odd behaviour Hi all, In our user guide we have a customized arrow.

Perhaps a thin space (Esc space t) would serve the same purpose without moving the arrow far enough for anyone to notice? -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited Toronto, ON, Canada +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 srogers phoenix-geophysics com Democracy: you can’t export it abroad when you don’t practise it at home. --Jack Layton Get Firefox! http://tinyurl.com/8q9c5 ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
