Spelling and dictionaries

You can spell check the text in your current document using the Spell Checker. The Spell Checker uses a custom dictionary to track terminology used in the file. To access the Spell Checker, on the ribbon, click Tools | Spelling.

Custom dictionaries

You can create your own custom dictionary or modify an existing dictionary to include your organization's terminology.

Note: You cannot add terminology to the default dictionary (cust.lex). You must create or add a custom dictionary to add terminology.

To create a custom dictionary:

1. On the ribbon, click Tools | Spelling.
2. In the Spell Checker dialog, click Options....
3. In the Dictionaries group, click Dictionaries....
4. Click New....
5. Enter a name and storage location for the custom dictionary. Click Save.

The custom dictionary is added to the list of available dictionaries. Select the custom dictionary and click OK to set it as the default dictionary for the file. Alternatively, you can click Add... rather than New... to add an existing custom dictionary, for example, a dictionary for a different language.

To add words to a custom dictionary:

1. On the ribbon, click Tools | Spelling.
2. In the Spell Checker dialog, click Options.
3. In the Dictionaries group, click Dictionaries....
4. Select the custom dictionary from the list, then click Edit....
5. Enter the word you want to add in the Add Word field, then click Add Word.

The word is added to the custom dictionary. You can also add words as they are detected by the Spell Checker by clicking Add Word. To remove a word, select the word from the list and click Remove Word.

Install a Hunspell dictionary

Hunspell dictionaries enable you to spell check different languages. You can download Hunspell dictionaries from the OpenOffice extension repository and install them for use in CaseView. Note that you must also download the hyphenation file for your desired language if you intend to use hyphenation options.

To install a Hunspell dictionary:

1. Navigate to the Working Papers installation directory and locate the cwlang.xml file. Open it with a text editor (e.g. Notepad).
2. Verify that a reference to the desired language exists. If it does not, add the desired language to the file by following the existing syntax in the file.
3. Visit the OpenOffice extension repository and download the dictionary for the desired language.
4. Extract the downloaded file using an archiving application (e.g. WinZip, 7zip). Ensure that *.dic and *.aff files are present and match the naming conventions from the cwlang.xml file.
5. Navigate to the Working Papers installation directory and locate the Dictionaries folder. If it does not exist, create it.
6. Copy the *.dic and *.aff files from the downloaded dictionary and paste them into the Dictionaries folder.
7. Open CaseView.
8. On the ribbon, click Tools | Options | Spell Checking. Select the desired language from the Language drop-down menu.

The Hunspell dictionary is installed and set as the desired spell check language in CaseView.
