AutoCorrect: Where are the values stored?
Jan 17, 2015

Hello,
I am using Storyline 1 and I was wondering if there was a way to access the list of words that are used in AutoCorrect. I have a long list of terms that I'd like to search for and then optionally replace.
Must each pair of terms be entered one-by-one? I hope not.
I've seen publishing software that allows you to load a list of search and replace terms in the form of a text file, and then run a search of all the terms at once. When a term is found, you can decide to either replace or continue the search.

Hi Paul,
It looks like Michael shared a link for SL2 - so I wanted to link to the SL1 (similar,but just in case you wanted to see the screen images). There isn't an option to upload a whole list to search for though - you can replace words as described there.
It looks like what I'm looking for isn't available in Storyline (yet! #SuggestionsforStoryline3), but I think I found a workaround.
Export text to Word and use PerfectIt: http://www.intelligentediting.com/features-for-pro/key-features/
This tool has an incredible list of capabilities: Management of abbreviations, capitalization, house style, hyphens/dashes, punctuation, spelling, typos and numbers and table/figure numbering. I'm really looking forward to using this tool...I am an unabashed grammar/style nerd. I get excited at the thought of automating editing duties!
Thanks Paul for sharing an idea here - and you're also welcome to share your thoughts in the form of a feature request here with our product development team.
