Neo User’s Guide

If you haven’t exited spell check by pressing 

, when it finishes 

checking your file, it displays a message that the spell check is 
complete and returns you to your file.

Use these tips to streamline your spell checks:

•

You can spell check a selection within a file. This can be useful if 
you have a long document and want to check only a portion of it 
at a time. To spell check a selection, select the area and press 

.

•

You can globally replace a word you frequently misspell with the 
correct spelling. For example, if you routinely type teh for the, 
when spell check catches this mistake, press 

 to replace 

all instances of teh with the in your file.

•

You can ignore all occurrences of a word that spell check flags as 
misspelled. This saves you from having to press a key to ignore 
the word each time it’s found. This is a useful way to bypass 
custom terms or proper names. When you’re spell checking a 
document and spell check questions a properly spelled word not 
in its dictionary, press 

 to ignore all instances of that word in 

the file.

You can create your own custom user dictionary for 

AlphaWord Plus. See “User dictionary” on page 39 for details.

You might have times when you want to turn off spell check. You can 
turn it off (and turn it back on) in one of three ways:

•

From Neo, using a keyboard command (explained below)

•

From Neo, using the Control Panel SmartApplet (page 64)

•

From AlphaSmart Manager, by disabling it (page 110)
