SUMMARY
=======
Microsoft FoxPro for Windows comes with a spelling checker utility. To use this
utility, choose Spelling from the Text menu. If the utility doesn't work, check
the items listed below.
MORE INFORMATION
================
In order to use the spelling checker utility, the following conditions must be
met:
- An editing window must be open, for example, a program file, memo field, or a
text file.
- SPELLCHK.APP must be on the system.
- The system variable _SPELLCHK must contain the full path to the SPELLCHK.APP
file (including the filename).
To check the value of _SPELLCHK, type "?_SPELLCHK" (without the quotation
marks) or "DISPLAY MEMORY" (without the quotation marks) in the Command
window.
If _SPELLCHK is blank, issue _SPELLCHK=" <pathname> <filename>" in
the Command window or in the CONFIG.FPW file. For example:
_SPELLCHK="C:\FOXPROW\SPELLCHK.APP"
- The file FOXTOOLS.FLL must be in the FoxPro root directory.
NOTE: In a distributed executable, FOXTOOLS.FLL must be in the same directory
as the ESL file. Typically the Visual FoxPro ESL file is located in the
Windows\System directory.
