Spell Checking and Hyphenation

Spell Checking and Hyphenation

Pedigree Forge includes spell checking for text fields and narrative reports, as well as hyphenation for typeset output.

Spell checking

Misspelled words are underlined in red as you type. Right-click on an underlined word to see suggestions or add it to the dictionary.

For historical documents, original spellings that are "incorrect" by modern standards can be marked as ignored — they are shown underlined in magenta rather than red, preserving the original while indicating it has been reviewed.

Hyphenation

Hyphenation is used in typeset reports and PDF output to produce professionally justified text. The hyphenation language can be set in Tools > Options.
