Does anyone know how to use the spell check or correct grammar feature on Celtx?

I have been told it is there and I can't find it. A little help?

Cherie Grant

Purchasing a dictionary is a huge help.

Adam Tester

For me it just puts the red line under the misspelled word.

Most screenplay software have the ability to export the screenplay as a txt (text file), which can then be easily checked in MSWord and Pages. I also check the text with WhiteSmoke (grammar, spelling, and editing software). I have found that each program misses errors another will catch. [And, it's important!] Cheers, Tom

Oops! I should add that all programs miss some edits than human proofreaders catch. I always use a few friends, bribed with dinners and drinks.

Pablo Ponce de Leon

Hey, Steven. I use Celtx on Google Chrome with the Grammarist App and it does a great job, but it also freaks out with terms like CONT'D and V.O. etc. Good luck!

Anthony Cawood

I use Grammarly in Word in addition to what's built in to Final Draft, and have a few people read it too... all helps.

@Tim - just had a look at Pro Writing Aid, looks good, thanks for the tip.

Al Hibbert

Doesn't it high lite?

Cherie Grant

Or there's the novel idea of learning to spell.

Steven Harris Anzelowitz

Cherie-- Yeah I forget how to spell. Oh well thank God for spell check.
