Configure a grammar and spell checker profile

Adobe RoboHelp includes a grammar and spell-checking assistant, which makes your text error-free, and easy to understand. The grammar checker tool scans your topic or all topics in a project and offers suggestions for spelling and grammatical errors. The tool makes your project free of all language-related errors, punctuation errors, and other grammatical mistakes. The result is a project with high-quality content.

How it works

The grammar checker assistant stops at every instance of a misspelled word and possible grammatical disagreements. Based on the suggestions, you can either accept or reject them.

The tool scans the following and flags the errors:

  • Current File - Allows grammar and spell check on the file currently in focus.
  • All Topics - Allows grammar and spell check in all the files of the currently opened project.
  • All Project Files - Allows grammar and spell check in all the files of the currently opened projects, which include topics, TOC, Index, and Glossary.

Note: The grammar and spell checker assistant cannot check errors in a Markdown file.
