SUMMARY
The Spelling Bee in Creative Writer 1.0 doesn't find misspellings you have typed in all capital letters. It also does not find misspellings if the beginning of the word is capitalized and not at the beginning of the sentence.

The manner of spell checking was changed in Creative Writer, version 1.1 and 1.1a on CD-ROM. Versions 1.1 and 1.1a spell check all words, capitalized or not.



RESOLUTION
To avoid this problem, type your text in lowercase characters first, and then check the spelling. After checking the spelling, change to uppercase characters the words you want to appear in capital letters.

EXAMPLES
 In Creative Writer, enter the Writing Studio. On separate lines, type the following:

APLE

aple

Aple

Aple Aple

 Choose the Bee on the toolbar. Choose Spell. The Creative Writer spelling checker will find that:

APLE is not misspelled

aple is misspelled

Aple is misspelled

Aple Aple - the first Aple is misspelled, but not the second.
