Checking spelling
FileMaker Pro can check the spelling of text in the following locations:
• a selected word or passage in a field
• the visible fields in the current record only (including any related fields)
• the visible fields in all records in the current found set (including any related fields)
• while in Layout mode, all the text objects in the current layout (including any text objects on
tab panels or slide panels that are not in front)
You can set FileMaker Pro to check spelling as you type or to indicate possible misspellings with a
red dotted underline in text that’s being edited. You set these options on the Spelling tab of the File
Options dialog box. See
Setting file options.
You can also set FileMaker Pro to check spelling on a field-by-field basis. You set this option in the
Inspector. See Setting spell checking for individual fields.
When you check spelling, FileMaker Pro compares your text against two dictionaries, the main
dictionary and the user dictionary. The main dictionary is preset to match your local language (for
example, in the United States, usenglsh.mpr). You can’t edit the main dictionary, but you can change
it to another language. The main dictionary is always available.
FileMaker Pro includes spelling dictionaries in the following languages: Dutch, French, Italian,
German, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish, Swedish, Swiss German, UK
English, US English, and US English (Medical).
The user dictionary, user.upr, is your second, editable dictionary. You can create multiple user
dictionaries, but only one can be used at a time. You can change user dictionaries at any time, or
turn off the user dictionary entirely and use just the main dictionary.
To check spelling in the current field, record, found set, or layout:
1. Display the record or layout, find the set of records, or select the text to check.
2. Choose Edit menu > Spelling, then choose a spelling command.
