Spelling WORDS like don't and won't

Scrivener Scrivener for Windows
1

I’ve tinkered with this for some time and added these word’s to my to my personal list, but still the program refuses to change them though I see them in my personal list. When I right click dont or wont to correct it, the pop up list does not offer me the correct word. Is there any fix for this.

I am no expert in spell checking, but from what I know, the Scrivener personal word list is just a so-called “white list”. It contains those words that otherwise would be flagged, but you deem to be correct. It does not include the functionality to start from a similar word in your text and lookup the closest match in your word list.

You could however use substitutions for what you actually want to achieve. Go to Options → Corrections → Edit substitutions… and enter a rules like:

dont => don’t
wont => won’t

I don’t know whether that’s what you are trying to accomplish, but you might give it a try.
