Spellcheck in Retailer

Spellcheck in Retailer

New to Retailer 3.4.3, Retailer will now check spelling on Text Entry fields. Words not recognised by the dictionary will be underlined Red.
There is also an AutoCorrect feature to automatically fix typo mistakes.

Override AutoCorrect

With AutoCorrect enabled, Retailer will attempt to match the typed word with those in the Retailer Dictionary. If a close match is found, the typed word will be corrected to the match.
To undo a correction, press CTRL + Z on the keyboard. Use the Right Arrow button on the keyboard to move to the next word without pressing [Space] to continue typing.
To stop AutoCorrecting a word, right click the word when underlined Red and click Add. This will add the word to the Retailer Dictionary and will stop AutoCorrecting this word in future.
