A lifetime with spell check<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\nWhen using standard spell check, we realized InDesign was constantly catching words that our clients frequently used and wanted to keep. Spell checking was taking so long, it was tempting to bail on the process altogether. We had to closely review every abbreviation, industry-specific term, last name, and even more modern terms that you THINK would be in a dictionary (we\u2019re looking at you … \u201cWi-Fi\u201d and \u201cemail\u201d). Overall, this process took 10\u201315 minutes \u2014 at least<\/em>. As you can imagine, it would be utter torture to endure this process multiple times throughout the life of a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEfficiency is top of mind for us at The Creative Department. We value craftsmanship, detail-oriented work, and going the extra mile if it means a high-quality product for our clients. If our client is using this template as the basis for hundreds of documents, how much time could we save them by addressing this annoying spell check process?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enter: custom user dictionaries<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n\n\nCould it be? A light at the end of the eternally long and drawn out spell check tunnel? YES! IT IS! Now introducing: custom user dictionaries for InDesign<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAlongside InDesign\u2019s standard user dictionary, it\u2019s possible to create a list of unique words for spell check to ignore. It\u2019s also possible to save this list as a new dictionary that complements the user\u2019s standard dictionary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
