I am using Scrivener on Mac and cannot figure out how to add words to avoid annoying and incorrect Auto corrects. Example: cafe con leche, although there others abound. I’m sure this is straightforward, but I cannot figure it out from the drop-downs or forums. thanks!
I don’t think this is a Scrivener thing, so much as part of Apple’s standard text system.
What I do is this:
Type ‘cafe con leche’ and watch it turn into ‘leech’. Type cmd-z which undoes the autocorrect and turns it back to ‘leche’ with red dots indicating Apple thinks it’s a misspelling. Then right-click on ‘leche’ and choose ‘Learn Spelling’.
It shouldn’t happen again for that word.
Hiya,
I need a little help with this, too. In MacOS, under Scrivener>Preferences> I get General, Editing, Behaviours, Appearance, Corrections, Sharing, and Backup.
No Keyboard menu or language related material.
Any help, please?
Edit: OK, I see that you mean the System Preferences for MacOS. However, I don’t know where the Spelling dropdown that you mention is.
Yes, you are right!
No Greek for me, though…
OK, I guess this is a topic for an Apple forum, but does anyone know where to find the dictionary files for other languages?
Thank you!
Welcome.
