Adobe Captivate lets you check spelling in most places where text occurs in your projects, including captions, slide
notes, slide names, text animations, and quizzes. Before using the spelling checking feature, review the spelling check
options and change them if necessary.
1 Open the project and select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Adobe Captivate > Preferences (Mac OS).
2 In the Preferences dialog box, select General Settings from the Global menu.
3 Click Spelling Preferences.
4 In the Spelling Options dialog box, set the following options:
Ignore Capitalized Words Omits any words from the spelling check that begin with a capital letter such as “Adobe.”
Consider this option if your text contains many proper nouns.
Ignore All-Caps Words Omits any words from the spelling check composed of all uppercase letters such as “MIDI.”
Consider this option if your text contains many acronyms.
Ignore Words With Numbers Omits any words from the spelling check that contain digits such as Q2. Consider this
option if your text contains many symbols or code with numbers.
Ignore Mixed Case Words Omits any words from the spelling check composed of uppercase and lowercase letters
such as “ActionScript.”
Ignore Domain Names Omits any words from the spelling check that appear to be Internet domain names such as
www.adobe.com.
Report Doubled Words Notifies you during the spelling check of any words that appear twice in a row such as “the
the.”
Case Sensitive Analyzes capitalized and lowercase versions of words separately. For example, “chicago” and
“Chicago” would each be checked and the lowercase spelling would be identified as a misspelled word.
Phonetic Suggestions Provides alternative words based on phonetic similarity to the misspelled word.
Typographical Suggestions Provides alternative words based on typographical similarity to the misspelled word.
Suggest Split Words Provides two-word suggestions for any misspelled word that appears to be two joined words
such as suggesting “press the” for “pressthe.”
Main Dictionary Language Specifies the dictionary language used during the spelling check. The default dictionary
is English. To change the language, select the new language from the list.
5 When you finish, click OK.
