- The utility set identifier for this utility is: oku_set04
- The utility identifier is: proofreading
This utility is ONLY BETA for now. Use it for test only.
The Proof Reading utility allows you to invoke Microsoft Word proof reading tool and run it on the input files. You must have Microsoft Word installed on you machine to use this utility. This utility has been tested with Microsoft Word 2003. Other version may or may not work.
If an input file is not associated with a filter settings string it will be ignored and no corresponding output file will be generated.
The proofreading tool is set for the language specified in the input language parameter.
The proofreading is done for all source text items that are translatable. Items marked as non-translatable, or items with an existing target text are not checked. So, to proofread the target text of a bilingual file, make sure to use filter settings that point to the "target" text as the "source" text.
The common parameters are the options specified from the application calling the utility rather than in the options dialog box of the utility itself. For this utility the common parameters you need to specify are the following:
| Files of the first input list | - Needed (the files to check) |
| Root for the first input list | - Not Needed |
| Files of the second input list | - Not Needed |
| Root for the second input list | - Not Needed |
| Files of the third input list | - Not Needed |
| Root for the third input list | - Not Needed |
| Input language | - Needed |
| Output language | - Not Needed |
| Input default encoding | - Needed |
| Output default encoding | - Not Needed |
| Location and names for output files | - Needed |
This window appears during the proof reading process if an error is found.
The top edit box shows the text of the item currently processed. Depending on the file format and the filter is can be a string, a paragraph, or anything that constitutes a text item. The current error is highlighted in the edit box and also shown in the Possible error box. A list of proposed changes is displayed in the Proposed changes list box. If there is no proposed change found for the error the list is disabled. If the item has a resource name value it is shown in the Resname field. Any notes associated with the item are displayed in the Notes field.
The text display during the proof reading session shows any inline code has
number tag (e.g. <1><2/></1>) so they can be ignored. They are
restored when writing out the item in the output file.
