Specifies the properties of the spellcheck, thesaurus and hyphenation.
Lists the available user dictionaries. Add or remove the filename of a user-defined dictionary. To make a dictionary that appears in this list available to StarOffice users, the file must be located in the folder that is specified in the User Dictionary section in StarOffice 7 - StarOffice - Paths - Default Paths.
Specifies that capitalization is checked during spellcheck.
Specifies that words that contain numbers as well as letters are to be checked.
Checks for the correct use of capitals at the start of words during spellcheck.
Specifies that special regions, such as text in headers and footers, document tables, and text frames, are checked during spellcheck.
Checks spelling against all installed language dictionaries. The "Language" font attribute is therefore not taken into account.
Automatically checks spelling as you type, and underlines errors. Typing errors are highlighted in the document with a red underline. If you place the cursor over a word marked in this way, you can open the context menu to obtain a list of suggested corrections. Select a suggested correction to replace the suspect word with the suggestion. If you make the same mistake again while editing the document, it will be corrected automatically. These automatic replacements are only made during the current StarOffice session.
Specifies that spelling errors will not be indicated with a red underline. This mode allows you to check the spelling "in the background" while typing or loading a text, but without the time-consuming red underlining. If you deselect the Do not mark errors box later, you will immediately see the red underlining.
Specifies that old German spelling rules are applied. If you don't check this box, StarOffice follows the new spelling rules for spellcheck and hyphenation.
Specifies the minimum number of characters required for automatic hyphenation to be applied.
Sets the minimum number of characters of the word to be hyphenated that must remain at the end of the line.
Specifies the minimum number of characters of a hyphenated word required at the next line.
Specifies that you will never be asked for a manual hyphenation. If the field is not marked, when a word is not recognized you will be presented with a dialog for entering hyphens.
Specifies that hyphenation will also be carried out in footnotes, headers and footers.
