Thesaurus lets you choose the correct word form to insert or replace in a document.

You can customize Thesaurus to automatically look up a word, help you with the spelling, or automatically close. You can also choose the language that you want to work in, and set data files for that language for future use.

 Note

•	Not all languages support all look up options. For information about which languages support which look up options, click here.

Using User Word Lists


Overview: Using User Word Lists
Using User Word Lists

A word list is a list of words or phrases scanned when you proof your text using the writing tools. Writing tools scan two types of word lists: User Word Lists and Main Word Lists. Each language comes with a default User Word List. User Word Lists can be customized to add, delete or replace words. Main Word Lists are lists of specialized words used by Spell Checker for a particular language, field or company. You can have ten lists of each type active when you use the writing tools. The active User Word Lists are scanned first; if the word or phrase is not found there, the active Main Word Lists are scanned. User Word Lists are available in WordPerfect, Corel Quattro Pro, and Corel Presentations. Main Word Lists are available in Spell Checker.

For information on how to create Main Word Lists using the Spell Utility click here.

Choosing a language

You can check the spelling or grammar of dates, time, currency symbols and other text in another language. You can also look up a word in a different language.

All languages are integrated in the suite. You can add and remove languages in Spell Checker, Grammatik, and Thesaurus. The language option lets you choose a language from the languages already added, and set a default Writing Tools language.

Many of the languages support hyphenation. Hyphenation lets you reduce the raggedness of text along the right margin by dividing a word that falls at the end of a line, instead of forcing the entire word to the next line.

A Main Word List is a list of specialized words that Spell Checker uses for a particular language, company, or field (such as legal and medical). The English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Dutch versions of WordPerfect include a .MOR file (for example, the English file is WT9EN.MOR). Spell Checker can search other Main Word Lists you have installed, such as medical word lists. You can create a Main Word List file using the Spell Utility.


A Document Word List contains words and phrases that you want Spell Checker to skip, replace, or display alternatives for in the current document only. Spell Checker scans this list first when you perform a spell check.


The Spell Utility is a separate application that you run from the Start button. The filename is WT9SPTLEN.exe (installed to C:\Program Files\Corel\Shared\Shared\WritingTools\9.0 folder where X is the drive where WordPerfect Office 2000 is installed). It is available only if you installed WordPerfect Office 2000 using the Custom option. If you used the Typical option, you can reinstall WordPerfect Office 2000, this time clicking the Custom option. The Custom option installs all the files of the Typical installation and more. Disable the applications that you do not want to reinstall.


A User Word List is a list of words and phrases that Spell Checker and Grammatik use to check for errors. You can add words to a User Word List so that the writing tools will skip or replace these words, or display alternatives for them. For example, you can specify replacements for words that you often mistype or misspell. Or, you can add words (such as your name) that you don't want Spell Checker or Grammatik to flag as incorrect.

You can also create multiple User Word Lists. User Word List files have the extension .UWL. The User Word List that ships with WordPerfect is WT9XX.UWL (where "XX" is the code for your language).

Each document has its own User Word List, to which you can add words and phrases that pertain specifically to that document.

Spell Checker and Grammatik always scan the Document User Word List first.


A coordinate term is a type of general word for example, as "oak" is a type of "tree." Its coordinates are words that are also types of a more general word. For example, "bike" is a type of "motor vehicle;" some of its coordinates are "car," "truck," "tank," and "golf cart."


If spell checking is enabled during a proofreading session, Grammatik flags words it does not find in its dictionary or your User Word List. If a flagged word is spelled correctly and you use it often in your writing, click the Add button to add the word to your User Word List.


Use the options on the Analysis menu to analyze your writing style. The options are Parse Tree, Parts Of Speech, Basic Counts reports, Flagged reports, Readability reports.


Use Exit or Close to exit any open documents and then exit Grammatik.


Auto Replace lets you substitute correct words for misspelled or mistyped words. For example, if you tend to type "freind" instead of "friend," you can add "freind" to the User Word List. If Quick Correct is enabled, the word is automatically replaced every time you type it.


Replace lets you substitute a replacement word or phrase for an error Grammatik has detected.


Replace All lets you substitute a replacement word or phrase for every occurrence of an error.


Resume lets you continue checking your document after you have edited text manually.


Skip lets you ignore an error that you don't want to change. Grammatik skips the current error but flags other occurrences of the error.


The Consecutive Nouns option lets you specify how many consecutive nouns Grammatik allows before it flags an error. For example, if you set the value to 3, the following phrase is flagged as an error:

"quality assurance analysis report"


The Consecutive Prepositional Phrases options lets you specify how many consecutive prepositional phrases Grammatik allows before it flags an error. For example, if you set the value to three, the following sentence would be flagged as an error: "One of the many duties of the office of President of this company is to appear at all press conferences."


The Long Sentence Length option lets you specify how many words Grammatik allows in a sentence before it flags an error.


The Spell Numbers Below Or Equal To option lets you specify the range of numbers that should be spelled out ("nine") instead of written as a numeral ("9"). Set the value to 0 if you don't want numerals to be flagged as errors.


The Words Allowed In Split Infinitive option lets you specify how many words Grammatik allows in a split infinitive before it flags an error. Grammatik counts the number of words between the first word ("to") and the last word (base verb) of an infinitve, and reports an error when the number exceeds the maximum allowed. For example, if you set this value to 1, the phrase "to boldly go" is not flagged because only one word comes between "to" and "go." However, the phrase "to very boldly go" is flagged because two words are between the split infinitive.


Skip All lets you ignore a word or phrase for the rest of the proofreading session.


Start lets you begin proofreading.


Undo lets you undo the last word or phrase replacement.


An abbreviation is a shortened version of a word. For example: etc. is an abbreviation of etcetera.


An adjective modifies a noun. Example: a "good" book.


An adverb modifies a verb or an adjective. Examples: go "quickly," a "very" good book.


An auxiliary verb is a form of "be," "have," or "do." Examples: "is" coming, "had" not run, "did" he say.


A determiner is a type of adjective. Examples: "a," "an," "the," "some," "these," "any."


Comparative and superlative are forms of adjectives or adverbs that indicate a degree of comparison. Examples: happier, slowest.


A conjunction joins words, phrases, or clauses. Examples: the book "and" the pen, "because" it is late.


An infinitive is a verb form that uses "to" and a base verb. Examples: to read, to go.


An interjection is an exclamation. Examples: hi!, oh!, hey!


A modal is a type of auxiliary verb. Examples: will, must, can, should, might.

A main clause is complete meaning without any other sentence component. Example: "We will have the meeting today."


A subordinate clause is also called a dependent clause. A subordinate clause cannot stand alone. It depends on another clause to complete its meaning. Example: We will have the meeting today, "since everyone is here."


A relative clause is a type of subordinate clause that acts like an adjective, describing a noun or pronoun before it. A relative clause usually starts with a relative pronoun like "who," "whom," or "what." Example: The employees "who used the dental plan" appreciated the change.


A Wh- Clause is referred is a specialized subordinate clause starting with "when," "how," "why," or "where." A wh-clause can act like a noun, an adverb, or an adjective. Examples: We knew "where she would go," I will tell you "when I go."


A that clause is a specialized subordinate clause starting with "that." Example: We were sure "that you would pay us."


The subject of a clause performs the action. A subject can be one word or several. Examples: "John" ran, "The cats" meowed, "All the children and their mothers" took naps.


A verb or verb phrase shows action in the verb. Verbs can contain one or several words. VERB is used for a single word. For example: John "ran." A VERB PHRASE is used when several words make up the verb. For example: He "has gone" (VERB PHRASE).


A direct object receives the action. Example: Bob gave her "an apple".


An Indirect Object tells "to whom" or "for whom." Example: Bob gave an apple to "her."


A prepositional phrase is a preposition and its object, plus any modifiers. Prepositional phrases usually function as adjectives, adverbs, or nouns. Example: We came back "for the second show."


A relative pronoun introduces a subordinate clause and links it with an independent clause. Example: The noise "that" scared you was made by the boy "who" lives next door.


A phrasal is a preposition that is part of a verb phrase, but separated from it. Example: put the book "down."

If you choose a replacement that begins with <SUBJECT>, Grammatik prompts you to type a subject for the sentence.


Readability formula

Grammatik displays a readability formula based on the language used in your application. United States English uses the Flesch-Kincaid formula. This is a widely-used formula that determines the school grade level that a reader needs to understand a document. A grade level score of 6-10 is considered the most effective for a general audience.

Languages other than United States English may use different scoring systems. For example, UK English uses the Flesch Reading Ease Score. This number is high for readable writing and low for complex writing. Many companies require writing that matches one of the following Flesch Reading Ease Scores.

Score	Reading Difficulty

90-100	Very easy

80-90	Easy

70-80	Fairly easy

60-70	Standard

50-60	Fairly difficult

30-50	Difficult

0-30	Very difficult

The Flesch Reading Ease Score formula is as follows: 206.835 -- (1.015 x average words / sentence) -- (84.6 x average syllables / word)

•	passive voice [image] too many passive constructions can make your work boring or difficult to understand.

•	sentence complexity [image] long sentences or sentences with complex structure are often difficult to understand.

•	vocabulary complexity [image] long words or unusual words may be too difficult for most readers.


For example, to replace the verb "read" in the sentence "I read a magazine in the doctor's waiting room yesterday," with the correct form of the verb "peruse," choose "perused" from the Select Word Form dialog box. The sentence is now displayed as "I perused a magazine in the doctor's waiting room yesterday."
