Section	Option and Description
Select Global Dictionary Location	A global dictionary is a file that contains words and can be used for spell checking by any Flare project you open on your computer. This is a convenient way to ensure that all of your projects are using the same spellings for terms, rather than having each project rely on a different dictionary. By default, a new global dictionary is stored in your AppData folder, like all of your built-in dictionaries. However, you can select Use custom location to choose a different location for your global dictionary. For example, you might be working with a team of users and want to make sure you are all using the same spellings for certain terms. By choosing a network directory, your entire team can use the same global dictionary. After selecting this option, click to choose the location. See Choosing the Location for Global Dictionaries.
Installed Dictionaries	This section displays information about the dictionaries that are installed and therefore available to your project. You can import additional dictionaries if you want. Language This column lists the names of all languages with dictionaries that are installed on your computer. Dictionaries are stored in your AppData Windows folder. Code Displays the code for each language. Spell Green dots indicate which dictionaries support spell checking. Hyphen Green dots indicate which dictionaries support hyphenators. A hyphenator is used to automatically hyphenate words in an editor based on particular word patterns, as outlined in the dictionary file. (Hyphenators are important only for certain languages.) For more information about hyphenation patterns in different languages, see:http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb27-1/tb86nemeth.pdf Thesaurus Green dots indicate which dictionaries contain a thesaurus. See Thesaurus. Description This column provides a short description of each dictionary. Import Dictionaries You can download more dictionaries from OpenOffice.org. After you download a new dictionary, you can install it by clicking this button. See Importing Dictionaries.
Spelling Options	You can use these fields to ignore any of the following when spell checking files: Ignore repeated words Ignore words with numbers Ignore uppercase words Ignore URLs Ignore email addresses Ignore mixed case words Ignored styles If there are certain styles or classes in your stylesheet that you want to ignore when spell checking, you can enter them in this grid. For example, you might have styles containing code text that you do not want to be affected by a spell check. Ignored conditions If there are certain chunks of content that are conditioned and you want to ignore them when spell checking, you can enter them in this grid (type the condition tag set, followed by a period and then the name of the condition). For example, you might have a condition that you use for content that is not yet ready for release. Content with this condition might have your notes and characters that you don't feel the need to spell check.
