Spell checking data responses

The spell checking facility in Snap Desktop checks the contents of all variables that have been set up as question literals, and may therefore contain free-format text. The search can be filtered to select specific data.

  1. Click DataEntryIcon.png to display the Data Entry window for the current survey.
  2. Click SpellCheckIcon.png to display the Case Data Spell dialog box.
  3. Set the Spell field to contain the names of the variables to be spell checked. If you leave it blank, all the data will be spell-checked.

If any spelling mistakes or unknown words are located in the data, the Spelling dialog box will be displayed and suggestions made for the correct spelling.

When the spell check has been completed, the final dialog box shows a count of the number of words checked and replaced.
