Checking spelling as you type
FileMaker Pro can alert you to spelling errors in text you’re editing.
To check spelling as you type:
 •
FileMaker Pro can alert you to spelling errors in two different ways:
 •
Set an option to have FileMaker Pro mark questionable words with a red dotted underline. To display suggested spellings, right-click the underlined word, then choose Suggested Spellings from the shortcut menu. You can then choose a replacement, select Ignore All or Learn, or open the Spelling dialog box.
 •
The Correct Word command is unavailable if you’ve committed your latest changes by tabbing or clicking out of a field, or pressing Enter (OS X).
Note  Checking spelling as you type is slower than using the other spelling options.
For more information on these options, see Setting file options.
