AutoCorrect Preferences
Oxygen XML Editor plugin includes an option to automatically correct misspelled words as you type in Author mode. To enable and configure this feature, open the Preferences dialog box and go to .
The following options are available:
- Enable AutoCorrect
- This option is enabled by default. When enabled, while editing in Author mode, if you type anything that is listed in the Replace column of the Replacements table displayed in this preferences page, Oxygen XML Editor plugin will automatically replace it with the value listed in the With column.
- Use additional suggestions from the spell checker
- If enabled, in addition to anything listed in the Replacements table displayed in
this
preferences page, Oxygen XML Editor plugin will also use suggestions from the Spell
Checker to automatically correct misspelled words. Suggestions from the Spell Checker
will only be used if the misspelled word is not found in the Replacements
table.
Note
The AutoCorrect feature shares the same options configured in the Language options and Ignore elements sections in the Spell Check preferences page. - Spell Check options link
- Use this link to navigate to the Spell Check Preferences page.
- Replacements Table section
- The AutoCorrect feature uses the Replacements table to automatically
replace anything that is listed in the Replace column with the
value listed in the With column for each language.
- Replacements for language drop-down menu
- You can specify the language for the Replacements table, and for each language, you can configure the items listed in the table. The language selected in this page is not the language that will be used by the AutoCorrect feature. It is simply the language for the Replacements table.
- Replacements Table
-
You can double-click on cells in either column to edit the listed items. Use the Add button to insert new items and the Remove button to delete rows from the table.
Note
Any changes, additions, or deletions you make to this table are saved to a path that is specified in the AutoCorrect Dictionaries preferences page.

characters of your choice by using the following options in the Smart
quotes section:
- Replace "Single quotes" - Replaces single quotes with the quotation symbols you select with the Start quote and End quote buttons.
