All,

I know that spell check was an issue and last time I checked, there isn’t a solution inside ClickLearn.  That said, when your portal grows beyond 1,000 pages of content and steps, with multiple editors, it is easy to not catch misspelled words.  I will share my work around:

While working on a concordance file for my written processes (separate thread later), I am using a word frequency counter in VBA that counts the word frequency in my huge file.  From there, it is VERY easy to see the misspelled words in Word, go to your section in the written steps (the PDF of your training portal), find the specific recording, and then go update the recordings as necessary.   In this example, I have misspelled ‘separate’ 7 times, as found in VBA.

Before we go too far, don’t be afraid of this VBA, it’s easy and self-explanatory.  I also didn’t write it, found it on the Internet and works great.  When the script runs, for a 1,200 page doc, it took about 10 minutes to run.  Easy peasy.  When the script is done, it will create a new word doc and show you each word and the # of times it appears.  Misspelled words as you know are underlined in red.  

As I mentioned at the top of this post, I am working on a concordance file but found this quick tip and trick extremely useful for the spell check issue.

Steps:

1. Make a copy of your Word doc; the “Full download portal” Word doc
2. Open file and click on developer tab
3. Create a new module in VBA, paste in code, run from top
   1. You can change the max word count if desired or leave as-is
   2. You can exclude words or leave as-is for first run
4. Results will appear in 5-15 minutes in a new word doc
5. Scan for misspelled words in frequency counts
6. Go update your ClickLearn content as needed
7. Reproduce your content

I hope you found this useful, VBA below.  Let me know if I can help.  Tom
