Repeat this procedure to specify more automatic replacements.
You can add as many items to the scrolling list as you want. When
you finish, click OK.
Note: Auto Correct does not remove specified text from a document
if you type nothing in the With box. Also, Auto Correct wont
replace spaces with more or fewer spaces (such as replacing two
spaces with one space). However, you can use the Text tab in the
Find palette to find and replace spaces.
To remove replacement entries: Select the entry in the scroll-
ing list and click Delete.
Automatic spelling correction
When you use the Spelling pop-up menu (page 27.524) to correct a
misspelling, Canvas adds the item to the Auto Correction list. The
misspelled word appears under Replace and the correction appears
under With. If you make the same spelling mistake again and
Replace Text as You Type is selected in the Auto Correct dialog
box, Canvas corrects the error. If Replace Text as You Type is not
selected, Canvas wont make these automatic corrections.
Checking the spelling of text
Canvas can check the spelling of all text in a document, including
text bound to a path by the Path Text tool or the Bind Text command.
Canvas can check the spelling of specific words, selections and entire
documents. Canvas can also check the spelling of words as you type.
Canvas checks the spelling of text by looking up words in the Canvas
Dictionary and the User Dictionary. The Canvas dictionary contains
100,000 words; this dictionary file cant be modified. You can add
words to the User Dictionary to stop Canvas from marking unrecog-
nized words that are spelled correctly.
Showing and hiding unrecognized words
Canvas marks words that it cant find in either the Canvas Dictionary
or the User Dictionary with a red wavy underline. Canvas can check
spelling while you type or after you finish entering text.
