Q.
When I repeat a Spelling Bee list it would be
nice to just repeat the words I failed and not the other
words.
A.
The default is to repeat all words but you can easily
change this to failures only. Go to your Property
Sheet and select User List Options.
The Repeat control radio buttons allow
you to pick Repeat all or Repeat list failures, click the
Repeat list failures radio button then close the
Properties sheet.
When you repeat the spelling bee list only
failures will be selected so don't be surprised if the
spelling bee tells you there are no words to repeat.
Q. I can not
get Dynamic Spelling Bee to add all the words to the spelling bee list
when I click the make list button. A. Check that the Insertion point, known
as the caret in Windows, is at the start of your list.
You can't miss the Insertion point, it flashes and is
always to the right of the letter you are typing.
Still bad? Now check your property sheet which contains
all the settings for each user. Click the Property
button on the Toolbar and ensure the minimum and maximum
word lengths on User List Setup page
allow you to pick the words you want. The default is four
minimum and ten maximum so change them if a word you want
to include is outside this range. Also check the list
total, the default is ten but can be up to 50 words in
length.
The status bar will now show you how many words were
actually selected.
Remember when you click the Make List button it
will make a list from the active window, that is the one
with the blue (default) caption background.
Q.
How can I test myself on failed spelling
dictionary words only.
A.
Go to your Properties Sheet and select User
List Setup. Set the List type to failures
only and click the Ok button.
Still no failures even though you
know you spelt some words incorrectly? If you are in practice
mode the dynamic dictionary is not
adjusted so you will never have any failures. Go to your Property Sheet and select User List
Options and make sure the
level adjustment radio button
is set to manual
(default) or auto and not
practice
