THE SPELL CHECKER

Spell Checker Feature

Classroom Jeopardy! Editor lets you spell check your game to ensure that the content in your answer keys and game cartridges is accurately entered.

Entire Game Spell Checking

To run the Spell Checker on the entire game select Tools → Spell Checker from the menu bar. This will spell check the contents of all cells in the game in the following order:

1.Game Name

2.Single Jeopardy! Round

3.Double Jeopardy! Round

4.Final Jeopardy! Round

Once the spell check starts, the template view will be set to Single Jeopardy!. Upon reaching step 3, the template view will be set to Double Jeopardy! and the spell check will continue. Upon completion, the template view will be reset to its initial state.

While spell checking the entire game, a progress bar will be displayed in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. It will show how much of the operation has been completed. As long as no potential spelling errors are detected, the user will see the operation proceed steadily toward completion. If a potential spelling error is detected, the Spell Checker Suggestions window will pop-up to allow the user to correct or override the Spell Checker.

Interactive Spell Checker Operation When the Spell Checker detects a potential spelling error it will pop-up the Suggestions window.

In this situation, the cell location where the potential error was detected is shown as part of the title. The normal game template will be visible behind the pop-up window and will be syn- chronized with the spell check operation to show the Single or Double Jeopardy! template being checked. If necessary, the user can click and drag on the title

bar and move the pop-up window to view the underlying cells of the template.

The following fields and buttons are displayed in the Spell Checker window and may display data, depending on the situation:

Not in Dictionary field: The Not in Dictionary field indicates that a misspelled word was detected. The word is considered misspelled because it could not be located in any open dictionaries. Edit the word in this box or select a suggestion from the list, then click the Change button to correct the word, or press the Ignore button to skip the word.

Suggestions field: The Suggestions field contains a list of suggested replacements for the word reported as misspelled. Repeated clicks on the Suggest button may yield more suggestions. If the word in the Not In Dictionary field has not been edited, the word selected in the Suggestions field will be used as the replacement when either the Change or Change All button is pressed.
