QuickCorrect automatically corrects misspelled words and capitalization errors. You can customize QuickCorrect by specifying which types of errors you want to correct automatically.
In CorelDRAW, the quotation marks that are applied to text vary according to the language that you have selected. You can further customize the quotation marks for different languages by using QuickCorrect. For example, you can change the style of double, single, and straight quotation marks for a language.
You can also undo a QuickCorrect correction.
| To customize QuickCorrect |
|
| 1 . | Click Text  Writing tools QuickCorrect. |
| 2 . | Enable any of the following check boxes: |
| • | Capitalize first letter of sentences |
| • | Correct two initial, consecutive capitals |
| • | Capitalize names of days |
| • | Automatically create hyperlinks when typing web addresses |
The Correct two initial, consecutive capitals option doesn’t make a change when a capital letter is followed by a space or period, or if a word contains other capital letters.
Instead of enabling the Capitalize first letter of sentences check box, you can change the text case to sentence case. For more information, see To change the text case.
