AutoCorrect Preferences
Edit online

Oxygen XML Editor plugin includes an option to automatically correct misspelled words as you type in Author mode. To enable and configure this AutoCorrect feature, open the Preferences dialog box and go to Editor > Edit Modes > Author > AutoCorrect.

The following options are available:
Enable AutoCorrect
When selected (default state), while editing in Author mode, if you type anything that is listed in the Replace column of the Replacements table displayed in this preferences page, Oxygen XML Editor plugin will automatically replace it with the value listed in the With column.
Use additional suggestions from the spell checker
If selected, in addition to anything listed in the Replacements table displayed in this preferences page, Oxygen XML Editor plugin will also use suggestions from the Spell Checker to automatically correct misspelled words. Suggestions from the Spell Checker will only be used if the misspelled word is not found in the Replacements table.
Note: The AutoCorrect feature shares the same options configured in the Language options and Ignore elements sections in the Spell Check preferences page.

Replacements Table section
The AutoCorrect feature uses the Replacements table to automatically replace anything that is listed in the Replace column with the value listed in the With column for each language.
Replacements for language drop-down menu
You can specify the language for the Replacements table, and for each language, you can configure the items listed in the table. The language selected in this page is not the language that will be used by the AutoCorrect feature. It is simply the language for the Replacements table.
