Spell Checker

---

The spell checker allows users to check for spelling errors. The spell check is a java applet, and comes equipped with 17 dictionaries. The administrator can select which dictionaries to install for the primary domain during installation. For procedures to install the dictionaries in other domains, see "Installing Dictionaries For Hosts" below.

Note: To use Spell Check, the user must have Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.1 or 1.4 installed.

Installing Dictionaries For Hosts

During installation, the dictionary files are installed for the primary host only. In order for other hosts to use the Spell Check, the administrator must copy the dictionary files (.clx) from the [IMail Top Directory] into the respective host's top level folder. To determine the filename for the dictionary you want to use, see "Dictionary Explanations". For example, the ssceam2.clx dictionary file is the file for the American English Dictionary.

The user's folder for a secondary host is located at:

[Host Top Directory]\users\"username"

The host's folder for a secondary host is located at:

[Host Top Directory]

After copying the files into the user's or host's folder, the dictionaries are displayed in the dictionary selection box on the Compose page of Web Messaging.

Enabling Spell Check

Before users can use the spell checker, the administrator must enable spell checking for the user's account. (Spell Checking is enabled by default for all new user accounts when it is enabled for the domain.)

To enable Spell Checking for an individual user:

1. Select User Administration from Administrative Account Options in Web Messaging.
2. Select the user account that you want to enable spell check for and click Modify.
3. Select Enable Spell Checking and click Save.

To enable Spell Checking for all new accounts in a domain:

1. Select User Administration from Administrative Account Options in Web Messaging.
2. Select the appropriate domain from the Current Domain List box.
3. Under Default Attributes for all Users, select Enable Spell Checking.
4. Click Update Attributes to save your changes.

Spell Check can also be enabled globally for a domain through IMail Administrator on the host's Web Options tab.

Note: Users must select the appropriate Java setting with which to run the spell checker. If the wrong Java setting is selected, the user will receive an "invalid user error." To select a Java setting, select Edit My Preferences from the Web Messaging interface. Then in the spell check applet field, select either 1.1 or 1.4. The default Java Runtime Environment is 1.1.

Accessing Spell Check

The Spell Checker can be accessed through the following Web Messaging pages: draft.html, fwdmsg.html, replymsg1.html, sendmail.html. The user must select at least one dictionary to use spell check. Once a message is entered in the Body field, click Spell Check to launch the Spell Checker. You can spell check a message that contains up to 65,000 characters.

Disabling Spell Check

Spell Checking is enabled by default for all new accounts. You can disable the Spell Checker as follows:

1. In the Web Messaging interface, select User Administration from Administrative Account Options.
2. Select the user account that you want to disable spell check for and click Modify User Account.
3. Clear Enable Spell Checking and click Save.

To disable Spell Checker for all users in a domain:

1. Select User Administration from Administrative Account Options in Web Messaging.
2. Select the appropriate host from the Current Domain List box.
3. Under Default Attributes for all Users, deselect Enable Spell Checking.

Editing Dictionaries

The Spell Checker contains compressed dictionary files, which have a .clx extension and cannot be edited.

Each user also has a user dictionary that they can customize, by adding and deleting words. This file is called Userdict.tlx and can be edited by selecting Edit User Dictionary from the Spell Check Options menu.

Dictionary Explanations

All dictionaries, except the user dictionary, are word lists that cannot be edited. The user dictionary is editable.
