Spell checking

You will never find it hard to avoid making mistakes in your diagram after using spell checking. It can help you to correct both typing mistakes and spelling mistakes, however, it is slightly different from other spelling and grammar checking tools you have used before. It doesn't check your whole diagram automatically, but underlines wrong words with a curve line.

Correcting a word

If you type an incorrect word mistakenly, you can:

  • Either re-type the word correctly or
  • Right click on the wrong word and then select one out of the suggest words.

Adding a new word to dictionary


Sometimes, the dictionary cannot recognize the word you type and it doesn't always mean you type an incorrect word. It may be a rare word or a new word that you create, you can simply right click on the wrong word and select Add to dictionary to add a new word to dictionary. You type this word again next time, it won't be marked as a wrong word.
