Hi,

I do not know, if this is what you mean:

In the Spelling Checker pod you can write all words that are unknown to a file. (Dictionaries | Write All Unknown Words to File)

Then open this file with a text editor, correct the words and then import into your personal dictionary.

This is explained in the online help:

Hi Winfried,

thanks for the reply.

I need to automate spelling checker process - ex. changing spelling checker properties, importing personal dictionary and starting checker and reporting all the spelling errors in the log file.

thanks.

What version of FM?
(recent versions have live spell-checking
in addition to the classic Edit » Spelling Checker dialog)
What is it you desire to automate?
(that ☑ Automatic Correction doesn't do)
