Chapter 3. USING AGCat
Using the Spell Checker
The Spell Checker lets you check spelling in new and edited records. You can manually invoke the Spell Checker at any time during record editing, or you can configure AGCat to automatically invoke the Spell Checker each time you save a record (see Setting Spelling Options for details).
To spell check a record:
NOTE: AGCat provides a number of Spell Checker options, allowing you to customize the way the Spell Checker operates to suit your particular needs (see Setting Spelling Options for details).
- Make sure the record you wish to spell check is the currently active record.
- Select Spell Check from the Tools menu, or click the Spelling button
in
the Toolbar. - When a potentially misspelled word is located, the Check Spelling dialog displays.
Check Spelling Dialog
- The Title Bar shows the tag number and subfield code, as appropriate, for the tag containing the suspect word.
- The suspect word is shown, in context, in the text box at the top of the dialog, along with an indication of the possible error (Not in Dictionary, Capitalization, etc.).
- The Suggestions list box displays a list of suggested corrections for the suspect word.
- To leave only this occurrence of the word unchanged, click the Ignore button. To leave all occurrences of the word unchanged (throughout the entire record), click the Ignore All button.
- To add the suspect word to the current dictionary, click the Add button.
- To change only this occurrence of the word, enter the correct spelling for the word in the Change to text box (or select the correct spelling for the word from the Suggestions list), then click the Change button. To change all occurrences of the word (throughout the entire record), enter the correct spelling for the word in the Change to text box (or select the correct spelling for the word from the Suggestions list), then click the Change All button.

automatically.
