Hello, I am trying to make a code, where the "check-spelling" feature will work on fully capitalised words, I was wondering if there was a script to insert into the document for this to work in any way?

I don't know how much code you have written but there is the ability to ignore the case if that is an option for you...

Here you can read more about it:

I tried putting it into the Javascript for both the field, and the document Javascript, but it doesn't seem to work...

Here is that I have:

var str = "AaBbCcDdEeFfJjHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOoPpQqRrSsTtUuVvWwXxYyZz";

var patt1 = /ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/i;

var res = patt1.ignoreCase;

It won't correct the word, "ADVOL" but it will correct it when it is lower-case.

So this could be a more efficient regExp for search all words and ignoring the case.

/([A-Z])\w+/gi

If you could post your full script we might be able to help more.

I would also recommend checking this site out to see if your regexp catches specific words you are concerned about... (plus it helps show what your code is doing at the bottom.

I see... I will be honest, I am new to coding with Javascript, but the script I posted in my previous comment is all I have gotten thus far.

How would I inject:

/([A-Z])\w+/gi

into my script to make spell-check work on fully capitalised words, if you don't mind me asking
