Using Locationaries™ in Layouts

Locationary™ words used to spell check the layout's data frames can also be used as conventional dictionaries to spell check words on the layout itself.

For example, let's consider that the word "Monticello" is present in a layout's title. Let's also assume that the location-bound word "Monticello" (The name of U.S. President Thomas Jefferson's estate) is not in any active dictionary but is in an active Locationary.

With this option disabled, "Monticello" would be considered a potential typo and the word "Monticello" would not be offered as a replacement suggestion in the Potential Typo dialog for similar spellings.
With this option enabled however, the word "Monticello" would be considered correctly spelled if a map on the layout was also being spell checked and was over an area containing the estate of that name.

Important Note

This functionality is only available when "Layout Page" is selected on the MapSpeller toolbar and the Locationary option is turned on in the Options dialog (either the "Visible Extent" or "Radius" option).
