Using the Spell Checker
You may use the spell check function on an entire test or a single question. When viewing a question bank, the spell check function does not check the answer choices for Bimodal questions shown as Short Answer. Spell check does not check dynamic content.
- Open Spell Check:
- To spell check an entire test, click
or click Edit from the menu bar and select Spell Check while a visual test appears on the screen.
- To spell check a question, click Spell Check while entering/editing a question.
If you are entering a question with an open-ended response (e.g., short answer), you must separately check the spelling in the question and then in the answer. Position the cursor in the section you want to spell check.
- To spell check an entire test, click
- Before you spell check your work, you can set the options to skip the following words: all-cap words, words with numbers, and mixed-case words. Click Options to change these settings.
- Click Start to check the spelling.
- If the spell checker finds a word that is not in its dictionary, the word is highlighted and you are provided with several choices. Select one of the following:
- Skip Once - Skip the highlighted word one time without changing the word.
- Skip Always - Ignore the word every time it appears.
- Add - Add the word to the custom dictionary.
- Replace All - Replace all occurrences of the word throughout the entire test.
- Replace - Replace only the current instance of the highlighted word.
