How do you spell check a field?

How are people spell checking their fields?
In searching around, I have only found (a) suggestions to yank the text into MS Word, do a spell check, then yank the resulting text into the field; (b) software from DC AL CODA that we aren't clear how they actually work (http://www.dcalcoda.com).
Specifically, my manager wants a tool that'll interface with Oracle like this: give a table name and a field name and be asked about each spelling error, much like an email spell check. The tool would change things as you ask, directly in the database. You wouldn't have to cut and paste into it and back to the db fields.
We aren't using forms. We use SQL*Plus, Quest Software's TOAD, and our own Java servlets (using JDBC to enter SQL statements).
I would love to hear how people do their spell checking.
Hopefully this is an appropriate forum for this question. There doesn't seem to be a general or SQL forum. Our database tables include a fair amount of text that shows up on Web pages. These are the fields we want to spell check.

I thought I'd reply to my own question since I found a workable solution, at least for our office which has MS Windows.
MS Access can connect directly to an Oracle data source. Access has a spell checking feature where you can select a field and spell check it. Below are tips and instructions for doing this.
TIPS:
It's surely a good idea to back up tables and be the only person or process changing those tables during the spell check.
One thing to watch for is whether the entire table comes in. At the bottom of the screen is a >* button which seems to get all fields. For large tables, you have to hit this button before you get the entire table.
Another glitch is that all of the given database user's tables show up in one list box -- makes for some painful scrolling, but all of the tables are listed.
A much smaller glitch is that if you widened any of the fields in the view of the table, when you close the window, it asks if you want to save the formatting. It has nothing to do with saving the data (that is automatic). It's safe to say no.
The spell check doesn't recognize HTML tags (asks about "br"s from <br> tags) but seems to know to ignore things like "
How to set up an ODBC Data Source in Windows:
1. MS Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> ODBC Data Sources (32 bit)
2. Drivers tab, scroll down and select Oracle ODBC Driver
3. OK
4. User DSN tab, Add...
5. Select Oracle ODBC Driver and Finish
6. Make up a data source name (example: src)
7. Enter a description for it
8. For Service name, put what your service name is (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'svc')
9. For UserID, put your user id (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'usr')
10. Ignore the rest of the fields, click OK
11. Another OK.
How to use Access to Spell Check an ODBC Data Source Field:
0. Install Access from (MS Office 2000).
1. Start Access (by the way, you might find it way down the list in Start -> Programs).
2. Open file, in the file type box, scroll to the end: ODBC Databases. You'll get a dialog.
3. Machine Data Source tab, select the name you gave it (src in step 6 above)
4. You'll be prompted for the password (for an SQL*Plus connection, 'usr/passwd@svc', this is 'passwd')
5. Select from the huge list of every table the table you want. Ok.
5.a. If the table has no key, you'll be prompted for the unique key from a list of all fields.
6. Double click the item that has just been added to the dialog that remains on the screen. It'll have a globe next to text like USR_TABLENAME. This brings up a randomly sized first chunk of the table.
7. To make sure you get the entire table, on the paging buttons on the bottom (|< < > >| >*), click >*. It may take a few moments to get a huge table.
8. Click the heading of the field (column) you want to spell check). This selects the entire column.
9. Hit spell check (ABC checkmark tool or Tools -> Spelling)
10. Check away. The changes are made immediately to the database.
11. Close the table display window.

I am working on a JSP application. I wanted to add Spell check for text box like we have here, when we post a message. It automatically shows red line under the word, when ever spelling is wrong. Please tell me how I can do this. If possible, the code too.
Thanks.

I believe the spell checking you see here, or on any other site, is the spell checking built into Firefox. At least that's what I see. Are you using Firefox?

How can I Spell Check with an Action?

Hi -
I can use the Spell Checking command while I'm recording a new Action but when I play that
Action it gets stuck on the first step... "Spell Check in contents of all text layer". I didn't write that first step - PShop did while I was recording the Action. Whe I try to use the Action I get an alert ... "The object "in contents of all text layer" is not currently available."
If I hit Stop - the Action stops.
If I hit Continue - the Action stops.
So how do I Spell check using an Action? I plan to use this in a batch process. I have about 300 files and automating this would be great.
TIA any insight,
JL

See if using Insert Menu Item works for the spell check.

How do I spell check when composing an e-mail

Webmail sites typically have a link tool that appears on the formatting bar above the compose box. The specifics might vary but generally speaking, if you click the button for the link tool, paste the link, then OK that, a link should be inserted at the current cursor position.
To see what I mean for Yahoo! mail, check out this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/938081 url is not highlighted when sending it on an email and cannot be directly accessed].

How do I spell check a signature once I've created it in settings?

I've created and saved the signature but it underlines my street and city. I don't know how to spell check it so I can make those go away.

If you have spelled all the words correctly then you can ignore this underlining because not all street names and city names are in the spell checking dictionary.
If you use such words frequently then you can add them to the dictionary via the right-click context menu (Add to Dictionary)

Thanks for checking it out.
If anybody has ideas about this, please share

How do you Spell Check w/ Word, Without using webutil?

In our v6 forms we were able to use MS Word's spell check, how can I do this with a 10g form without using webutil?

Jim, thanks for the update. Some of the recent version of Jinitiator have included bug fixes relating to proxies. (though I suppose Support has gone through this with you).
I don't want to confuse the issue here but while Oracle Forms 10g is only certified on certain JVMs etc, we did run some webutil specific certification tests on Sun JDK 1.4.2 and that was ok (but again please cross reference this the Forms client certification since this testing was just and aside for the webutil QA).
If you need this functionality I think it would be worth seeing if a bug can be identified in Jinit and seeing if we can fix that -you may have worked with Support on this already...but as I said, check with the latest Jinit anyway to make sure. (1.3.1.17 or 18 I think off the top of my head)
Thanks
Grant

How to stop spell check

Whenever I type a letter, it automatically type out a word that I don't want in that specific area. For example, I would press "A" and it would automatically spell "Apples" when I actually want "A-1". BTW, I'm typing within a grid with images and it tends to mess the alignment of the images. I need to know how I can stop that from occurring. Thanks in advance.

How to do spell check.

Hi,
How do I do spell check in Apple Works 6.2.9?
Thank you.

On an Apple keyboard, or one designed primarily for use on a Mac, it's the one with the apple and the 'quadrille' (aka the 'propeller' or the 'flower') on it.
If you don't have a key with those symbols, it's probably easier to tell you which ones to eliminate as a possibility.
Tab, caps lock, shift and ctrl (or control) are labelled the same as on third party keyboards. Option is the key labelled 'alt' (current Mac keyboards carry both labels).
The one that's left, probably located at the end(s) of the space bar, should be the Command key.
Easy test: Open a new WP document and type a couple of words. Select one or more words and Copy, using the Edit menu. Click elsewhere to move the insertion point off the copied words. Press command-V, using whichever key you think is the command key. If you're correct, the copied material should be pasted into your document at the insertion point. Option-V should produce a check mark (actually a root sign -- ?). Control-V will likely have no visible effect.
Regards,
Barry

How can a spell checker be so bad?

I did not have high expectations for the spell checker built into RoboHELP, but in ac
tual use, this "tool" is next to useless. Examples of words it flags as misspelled: Microsoft
(it wants Micro soft), toolbar (it wants tool bar), hyperlink (it wants hyper link), and the list goes on an one, with each new example seeming more absurd than the last. Why bother including a spell checker if what you're going to offer the user is garbage, pure and simple?

How would you deal with “There are some one of which is....”. Admittedly this is a bad example and there should be a comma between "some" and "one" but if this is left out, your spell checker would change it to "someone" which is incorrect. Anyway the point I am trying to make is that producing a generic spell checker that meets everyone's needs is a task I'll never want to undertake. I'm really not trying to defend RoboHelp's spell checker, just try to make you see that it is not as easy as it first looks
