Working with spelling dictionaries
When you check spelling, you can use the main dictionary and the user
dictionary installed with FileMaker Pro, or you can use a user dictionary you
created.
The main dictionary is associated with all your FileMaker Pro files. User
dictionaries work with specific files. After you select a user dictionary for a
file, FileMaker Pro uses that dictionary until you select a different one.
Selecting a spelling dictionary
Before you can check spelling, select the spelling dictionaries to use. (If the
dictionaries you want to use are already selected, you don’t need to reselect
them.)
Select dictionaries when:
1 your spelling dictionaries are in a place other than the FileMaker Pro
folder, the Claris folder, or the System Folder
1 you want to make more than one spell-checking pass through a file using
different dictionaries (for example, dictionaries of different languages)
1 you want to switch to a different dictionary (like one that contains special
terms) after checking with the dictionary currently selected
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the or Help menu, and then type:
