  2. Click Fields to Check on the Spelling tab.

  4. To delete a field/subfield, select it in the list and click Delete.
  5. Click OK.

 Note: The spell checker fields-to-check settings are stored in:
X:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\OCLC\Connex\Profiles\MyProfile\Options.xml (X = the letter of your hard drive)

Add Add to the list a field you entered in the MARC Field Tag box to be spell checked and (optional) any subfields you entered in the Skip Subfields box to be skipped within the field.
Delete Delete a selected field/subfield entry in the list. (You can select and delete only one field/subfield at a time.)
Import  Note: This button remains active but is no longer needed.

The button was implemented early in the development of the Connexion client. Catalogers migrating from Passport or CatME programs (now obsolete) to the Connexion client could use the button to import their legacy customized fields-to-check file into the client spell checker.
OK Apply the settings you entered and close the window. You return to the Spelling tab (or press <Enter>).
Cancel Cancel any changes you made and close the window. You return to the Spelling tab.
