Spell checking your questionnaire

1. With the Questionnaire window open, click to start a spell check. Snap will search the entire questionnaire from the current editing position of the cursor.
2. If Snap finds a word with a perceived spelling mistake, it is displayed in the dialog box and a list of alternative spellings is provided.

   

   • Click [Ignore] to leave a word unaltered.
   • Click [Ignore All] to skip all occurrences of that word.
   • Select [Change] to put the text in the Change to: box into the text of the questionnaire.
   • Select [Change All] to change all occurrences of that word to the new spelling.
3. At the end of the questionnaire, Snap will automatically restart at the beginning and only stop when it has checked the entire questionnaire. It will then display a message showing the number of words checked and replaced.
4. Click [OK] to return to the survey.

   The default setting for spell checking is to ignore both numbers and partial numbers, so that numbers that appear in questionnaire, such as Q1, Q2A, 100, 1997 will be ignored. You can change these settings by clicking [Options...] to open the Spell Checker Options dialog.
