The Document > Spell Checker command allows you to check the spelling of your ArchiCAD project. The available features are similar to those used by Microsoft Word.
Note: Spell Checker is not available for text-type windows.
Use Spell Checker Preferences (Filters) to define which parts of the ArchiCAD project you want to spell-check.
•Choose to search on either All Stories or Current Stories.
•Check the boxes of the element types you wish to include in the Spell Checker process. Spell Checker can work on Text blocks, Zones, Labels, custom text entered into Dimension labels, and on Door, Window, Object and Lamp parameters.
Spell Checker uses Microsoft Word’s Spelling Check, which means that you must have Microsoft Word installed on your computer together with the dictionary of the language you are using.
In Microsoft Word, use Tools > Options > Spelling and Grammar to set your desired preferences. ArchiCAD’s Spell Checker will also use these preferences.
In addition, on the MacOS only, several freeware and shareware applications are available that take advantage of the Word Services spell checker suite.
Warning: Spell Checker relies on Microsoft technology. ArchiCAD can only locate Word’s Spell Checker if its pointer is correctly written in the Windows Registry. If you have properly installed Microsoft Office, Spell Checker will work without any problem. If you have manually modified the location of Microsoft Word, ArchiCAD will not be able to use its spell checking features. Moreover, the Spelling commands must be installed with Word.
