Color

A unique feature of 4Spell is action color highlighting. This means that while checking the words in your document words are colored according to the action triggered. Hence coloring indicates how 4Spell interpreted a word or what it has done to it (change, ignore, automatically correct, etc.). Looking at the color of a word will give you a clear visual indication of what happened.

You can select your favorite colors:

Text
This is the (foreground) color of the text.
Text background
This is the background color of the text.
Commands
This color is used to indicate that the text is a command which is skipped during spell-checking.
Mathematics
This color is used to indicate that the text is a mathematical text that is skipped during spell-checking.
Comments
This color is used to indicate that the text is a comment and skipped by the spell checker. Note that the beginning of a comment is specified in the "Comment character" field in the "Advanced" tab sheet.
Environments
This color is used to indicate that the text is an environment that is skipped during spell-checking.
Verbatim
This color is used to indicate that the text is a verbatim command that is skipped during spell-checking.
Parameters
TeX and other formats use macros with parameters. These parameters can be skipped during spell-check and this color will indicate that it was a parameter.
Replaced
If a word is not found in the dictionaries and you decide to replace this word by something, this color will be used as an indication. This makes it easy to see which words were replaced.
Skipped
If a word is not found in the dictionaries and you have decided to skip the word, this color is used as an indication.
Autofixed
If a word is in the AUTOFIX list and is automatically replaced by a correct word, this color is used as an indication.
User wordlist
If a word is not found in the dictionaries you can add it to your own user wordlist. It can be useful to see whether a word was found in the dictionary or in your own word list. If a word is found in the user wordlist this will be used as an indication.
