FileMaker Pro basics 1-13
Leaving FileMaker Pro
When you’re finished working in FileMaker Pro, choose Quit from the
File menu.
Important Always quit FileMaker Pro before you turn off your
computer.
Checking your spelling
You can use the installed spelling dictionaries to check the spelling in a
file, all at once or as you type. FileMaker Pro compares your text with
its main dictionary (which contains almost 100,000 words) and a user
dictionary, in which you can store up to 32,000 unique terms. Each file
can have its own user dictionary. This is useful when, for example, you
have files that contain unique terms (like medical or legal terms).
You can check the spelling of a selected word or passage, all words in
the current record or layout, or all words in the records most recently
found (the current found set) or browsed in Browse mode.
When FileMaker Pro finds a word it doesn’t recognize, you can correct
it, skip it, or add it to your user dictionary.
Note Before you begin, be sure the dictionaries currently selected are the
ones you want to use. See “Working with spelling dictionaries” on page
1-16.
