Tab 'Spelling'

The tab 'Spelling' in the dialog 'Options' allows to set spelling and language options for TeXnicCenter. See Advanced configuration for more information and settings about languages and spelling.

The meaning of the controls are:

'Language'
  This drop down list shows all languages of the installed dictionaries. The language setting only affects the spell checking functionality of TeXnicCenter. It does not affect the language of the TeXnicCenter user interface. Changing the language does require a restart of TeXnicCenter to became effective.
'Dialect'
  This drop down list shows all dialects available for the selected language. The dialect setting only affects the spell checking functionality of TeXnicCenter. It does not affect the language of the TeXnicCenter user interface. Changing the dialect does require a restart of TeXnicCenter to become effective.
'Locale'
  This drop down list shows the locale setting for the TeXnicCenter application. Locale information is used to format system messages and some internal text manipulation. Changing the locale setting does not change the language of the TeXnicCenter user interface. If the selected locale is not installed, the default system locale will be used.
'Check spelling while typing'
  When selected, TeXnicCenter performs spell checking during data input. Words not found in the spell checker dictionary are highlighted.
'Suggest from main dictionary only'
  When selected, TeXnicCenter suggests only words from the main dictionary. Words from the personal dictionary will not be included in the suggestion list.
'Ignore comments'
  When selected, TeXnicCenter does not spell check comments.
'Ignore LaTeX tags'
  When selected, TeXnicCenter does not spell check LaTeX tags. This setting does not affect spell checking LaTeX command argum ents. For example, the argument of the LaTeX command \caption{This is a caption}, "This is a caption", is always spell checked. This option only determines whether "\caption" is spell checked.
'Ignore words with numbers'
  When selected, TeXnicCenter does not spell check words containing numbers.
'Ignore UPPERCASE words'
  When selected, TeXnicCenter does not spell check words in uppercase letters.
'Personal Dictionary'
  Contains path to and name of the file containing the personal dictionary. The personal dictionary contains words not found in the main dictionary. It is loaded once during application startup and written once during application shutdown. Clearing the personal dictionary text field disables the personal dictionary. Changes to personal dictionary control do not cause the personal dictionary to be reloaded.
