236 Text Handling

All these shortcuts (with the exception of the hard space) are compatible with Microsoft
Word.

Entering dummy text ('Lorem Ipsum')
You can insert a paragraph of dummy "Lorem ipsum" text by pressing "Ctrl + Shift + L"
("L" for Lorem) while using the TEXT TOOL. To insert a larger block of text, just press the
key combination a few times.

The function is also available on the main INSERT menu or else as part of the right-click
context menu. "INSERT" > "LOREM IPSUM TEXT"

Spell checker

The TEXT TOOL (on page 209) includes a spell checker, click on the "SPELL
CHECKER / AUTO CORRECTION" icon on the Text Tool InfoBar, and you will see a
dropdown menu.

To use the spell checker select “CHECK SPELLING
AS YOU TYPE”. Now all unrecognized words - both
in your document - and as you type, are shown
with a red dashed underline.
To correct a misspelled word, right-click on it, and
the context menu will suggest alternative
replacements. Simply select one of the
suggestions to replace the underlined word.

Language selection
The menu shown when you click on the Spell Checker icon on the InfoBar lists all the
languages for which you have dictionaries installed.

To change the language associated with all the text objects in your document, choose
the required language from the "DOCUMENT LANGUAGE" submenu. Now all the text objects
in the document will be checked against the dictionary for the language you chose.

To change the language associated with an individual text object, select the text object
with the TEXT TOOL and choose the required language from the Spell Checker menu.
Now the text object will be checked against the dictionary for the language you chose.

When you change the current document language, you will be asked whether all existing
text in the document should also be set to the chosen language, or left unchanged.

If you don't want any of the text objects in your document spell checked at all, then select
"DOCUMENT LANGUAGE" > "NO LANGUAGE (IGNORE)". And If you have individual text objects
which you don’t want to be spell checked, select the object using the TEXT TOOL and
choose the "NO LANGUAGE (IGNORE)" option from the Spell Checker menu
