Checking the spelling of work tasks and comments

The spell check function is used to check the spelling of the text in either the Work tasks or Comments fields. This is useful before emailing the information to the substitute staff member.

To check the spelling of text in the Work tasks or Comments fields:

  1. Click the Spell Check command link above either the Work tasks or Comments field.

    Substitutions - Daily Organiser (work tasks area)

    Note: Unlike Synergetic, SynWeb does not have an automatic spell checking feature. To check the spelling of work tasks you need to click the Spell Check link.

    The UltimateSpell window is displayed.

    UltimateSpell (Not in dictionary)

  2. Change or ignore words that are not found in the default dictionary.
  3. Repeat step 2 until there are no more words to process.

    The following dialog window is displayed.
