Hyphens
If a word is hyphenated and the hyphen is
followed by a carrier return, the dictionary will
continue from one line to the next.
Example:
“Congratulations on the purchase of your new elec-
tronic typewriter.”
The word “electronic” would be checked.
Only the root words of hyphenated words and
words followed by an apostrophe ( ’ ) or
apostrophe S ( ’s ) will be checked – not the
placement of hyphens or uses of apostrophes.
Examples:
Mother-in-law
(would be accepted.)
Mother in-law
(would also be accepted
although incorrect.)
Spell-Right will not check:
Capitalization (except as noted under
capitalization check.)
Single characters
Numbers
Any non-alpha character
