Manual Spell Checking

Oxygen XML Web Author automatically checks for spelling errors when a document is loaded and every time a modification is made in the document, but it also includes a manual spell checking feature.

Note: The installation kit does not include this feature by default, but it can be enabled by installing a plugin that is available on GitHub.

To open the Spelling popup window, click the Spell Check button on the upper toolbar or use the F7 keyboard shortcut. It performs the spell check starting at the current cursor position and proceeds through the rest of the document.
