SUGGEST
    SUGGESTIONS

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

The word in question will be displayed in the edit box at the top of the window.  You can manual correct the spelling of the word by making changes to it in the edit box.  You can also use the changes you made to cause ShareSpell to created a new list of suggested correct spellings.  The list below that is the list of suggested corrected spellings for the word.  If you find the correct spelling on the list just double click it and ShareSpell will replace the word with the corrected word.

Alternately you can click the correct spelling once and then click the Replace button.  Also, if you want to replace all occurrences of the misspelling in the document click the correct spelling once and then click the Replace All button.

Clicking Ignore will cause ShareSpell to ignore just that one occurrence of the incorrectly spelled word.  Ignore All will cause it to ignore all occurrences of the misspelling in the document.

Clicking the Add button will add the word to your personal dictionary and will be considered a good word from that point on.

Clicking the Resuggest button will cause ShareSpell to create a new list of suggested correct spellings based on the changes you have made to the word in the edit box.  It will also use a different suggestion method.  The default suggestion method finds errors based on common typing and spelling errors.  The second method is based on the how the word sounds.  If you click Resuggest without changing the word in question a new list of words will be created based on how the word sounds.

Clicking Cancel will cause ShareSpell to stop checking the spelling of the document.

The Dictionary Manager allows you to remove words from the user dictionary.  The user dictionary is the list of words you have added with the Add Button on the Suggestion List.
