Text Formatting Editor

Even if you choose to never use the Text Formatting Editor to create text, you must be able to view other class members' TFE created submissions. Therefore, you must have the correct JavaScript installed on your computer.

Spell Check

If you use the TFE, then you will use the Spell Check tool provided within the TFE.  If you use HTML Text Box or Plain Text Box instead of the TFE, then you may use the Spell Check described here.

WebTycho has a spell checking function that allows you to check text typed into any Plain Text or HTML Text Box. (Spell Checker is not available for WebTycho title boxes.)

For spelling changes to be saved, you must finish checking the entire text box. This means that, once you have begun a spell check session, if you click Cancel at any point before finishing the document, then all spelling changes made until then will be lost.  Also note that the dictionary has a size limit of 64k.

To enable the Spell Check
Once enabled, this tool will be available throughout all of your WebTycho classes until you disable it.

  • Go to Options (in the toolbar at the top of your screen).
  • Select Account Preferences.
  • Check the radio button for Spell Check.

If Spell Check is disabled
At the bottom of each text creation page the note "Spell Check is Disabled" will appear.

 

To use Spell Check on text composed in a WebTycho text box

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page
  • Click on the Check Spelling button
  • A new window will open. The spell check works similar to spell check functions in word processing programs except, once a spell checking session has begun, if you click  Cancel at any time all changes made until then will be lost.
