<pre>Problem description:-
When a document-wide spell-check is launched by positioning the cursor to the
beginning of the document and using F7 to locate spelling errors, it is
possible to instruct the process to auto-correct all instances of a mis-spelled
word. However, if the spell-check encounters a different, mis-spelled word, the
previous instruction seems to be voided/lost.
Example: consider the following text:-
-=-=-=-
The first color was red.
The second color was green.
The thrid color was blue.
The fourth color was gold.
-=-=-=-
If we wished to spell-check this text, using a British-English dictionary, we
would expect all instances of "color" to be corrected to "colour", *if*, we
instructed the spell-check to auto-correct when it encounters the first
spelling error on the first line of text.
However, on the 3rd line of text we have a different spelling error: "thrid"
instead of "third". The spell-checker will encounter this error and offer
suggested corrections as we would expect. However, after resolving this
different error, the spell-checker will "forget" that it needs to auto-correct
all following instances of "color" to "colour" and this instruction will need
to be repeated.
As an aside, the alternate approach, "Ignore all" does seem to work as expected
- once this option is taken, all future examples of an unrecognised word will
be ignored.
Just for clarification...
The text I am testing in this example is content that has been created by
OCR-scanning some old documents using a CZUR book scanner and its integrated
OCR software. I make this distinction because it is of course possible to
configure Write to "auto-correct" (which I have done for "color"). In that
case, auto-correct works perfectly if I type in the word incorrectly at the
cursor, just not when parsing a document that contains instances of spelling
errors.</pre>
