2152.0. "Spell checking long words under Windows NT" by ZUR01::TOLBA () Thu Apr 24 1997 09:57
Hello,
Customer discovered problems with Spell Checking of long words.
TeamLinks Mail V2.7-1 (english), Windows NT V4.0
Example:
--------
this_is_very_long_message_to_show_the_problem_with_the_spell ing_c hecker
If the above line will be spell checked und Windows 95 it works ok i.e.
the words this_is_very_long_message_to_show_the_problem_with_the_spell &
ing_c are not known and for the word hecker there are given some alternatives.
Under Windows NT V4.0 or V4.0-2 the first long word:
this_is_very_long_message_to_show_the_problem_with_the_spell
will be automatically replaced through �����������........... characters.
The problem has been reported by Hofmann-La Roche Switzerland. Obviously they
are using long name expressions from the pharma industrie and for them this
spell checking problem 'or restriction?' is really very unpleasant.
Is this problem known? Are there any workarounds available beside not using
spell check under Windows NT? Shall I open an IPMT for this?
Thanks for your feedback and kind regards,
Manuela Tolba, CSC-R�mlang/Switzerland

| 2152.1 | Do the spell checking in RTF mode | bachlr.zko.dec.com::tamara::hovey | | Thu Apr 24 1997 16:33 | 13 |
| I've reproduced the problem.
NT is handled differently due to some problems with the RTF editor in
text mode on NT.
My only suggestion at the moment is to flip the create message editor
to RTF when doing the spell check and flip it back when done.
Note that I don't think your example will work as you describe because
words longer that 64 characters are skipped; but I still see what you
mean about very long words being a problem.
This is bug report PTR 11-3-1382 on TeamLinks 3.0 EFT1.
