Clicking the OK button will save any changes you have make to the dictionary; while the Cancel button will quit the Dictionary Manager without saving any changes you have made.

Suggestions

The Suggestion List will be displayed each time an incorrectly spelled word is found in the document.

The word in question will be displayed in the 'Not In Dictionary' edit box at the top of the window. You can manually correct the spelling of the word by making changes to it in the 'Change To' edit box. Any changes you make can also be used to cause EditPartner to generate a new list of suggestions. If you have made a change you can click either the Suggest or Phoneme button to get a new list of suggestions based on any changes you have made to the word.

The list beneath the edit boxes is the list of suggested correct spellings. If the correct spelling in on the list you can double click on it to replace the incorrect word with the correct spelling. Alternately, you can click on the correct spelling once and then click the Change button. If you want to correct the spelling of every occurrence of that word in the entire document, click the Change All button.

The Ignore and Ignore All buttons will cause EditPartner to do nothing with the word. Ignore will cause it to skip just this occurrence of the word, while the Ignore All button will cause it to ignore the questioned word every place it occurs in the document.

Configuration

The configuration window has the following options:

User Dictionary Directory

This is the directory where the dictionary containing the user added words will be stored. This allows you to place the main dictionary with EditPartner on a network server and still allows the users to have their own personalized dictionary stored on their local machine.

Open Maximized

If this option is checked EditPartner will open the file window expanded to the full size of the main EditPartner window.

Make Backup Files

If this option is checked EditPartner will rename the old version of a file with the extension .BAK before saving the new version of the document.

Word Wrap Setting

This controls how EditPartner treats lines in the window.  If it is set to Fit To Window all lines of text will be display word wrapped at the current size of the window.  If you set it to Fixed all lines will be word wrapped at the specified column width.

Default Extension

This is the default extension EditPartner will use when opening/saving files. You can select the Custom option and specify any wildcard mask you wish.

Dictionary

Selects the dictionary to use when spell checking files.

Change Font

The Change Font button will allow you to select a different mono-spaced font to use while editing text.


Page Setup

The Page Setup dialog allows you to set how the file will print.

Margins

Specify the Top, Bottom, Left and Right margins in inches.

Header / Footer

Allows you to specify a header and footer for each printed page. There are several special character sequences you can add to enhance them:

&p	Will be replaced by the current page number.

&f	Will be replaced by the name of the file being printed.

&t	Will be replaced by the time the file was printed.

&d	Will be replaced by the date the file was printed.

&l	Will cause the header/footer to be left justified.

&r	Will cause the header/footer to be right justified.

&c	Will cause the header/footer to be centered (default).

&&	Will print a single ampersand (&) character.

The default justification is centered. The header/footer is scanned from left to right so if there is more than one justification control (&l, &r, &c) on the line the last one will control how the header/footer is justified.

The special characters can be either upper or lower case, so, &F and &f both will work properly.

If you do not want a header or a footer make sure there is no text in their edit boxes.

Printer Button

The Printer button serves the same purpose as the Print Setup menu item allowing you to select which printer you wish to use.

You can set the orientation of the page (Portrait/Landscape) from the Print Setup... menu.
