224 Text Handling

Smart Quotes

When you type quote ' or double quote " characters, Xara Web Designer
Premium will automatically convert these into the more appropriate and aesthetically
accurate opening or closing quotes. It is also smart enough to understand the use of
single quotes within words to signify missing characters.

Entering special characters
There are a number of useful shortcuts to allow insertion of special characters, like © or
™. See Special characters (in Text Tool) (on page 529) section in "Menus and keyboard
shortcuts".

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 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.
