Replacing misspelled words

[fed]

Is there a functionality within FMP that will replace misspelled words, or do I have to write a script for that?

 

Thank you,

Of course the spell checker which should be used, however if you want to script it, you can make a simple custom function to do this using substitute

Substitute ( text ;
["ote";"ate"];
["otato";"potato"];
["pannish";"punnish"]

)

I don't see how you can do this without doing it manually. If there are just a few words, and they are consistently misspelled, them perhaps a Substitute as suggested by No-access might work, Why not just use the File Options and select the options that works for your file?

I have been using the substitute command, and it works well. I'm just wondering if there is a build and spellcheck functionality.

It is a file Option.

 

Menu >> File >> File Options.

 

Do a search for "Setting file options" for more information.
