Powerful all-in-one writing tool

Please note that the system requirements have changed! Spell Catcher X 10.4.1 requires Mac OS X 10.5 and later, running on Intel Macintosh hardware. PowerPC Macintosh users running Mac OS X 10.5 must continue to use Spell Catcher X 10.4 (see ‘Related Links’ below).New New Cancel Last Expansion command in Spell Catcher’s Input menu. This will delete any text entered since the most recent shorthand expansion or completion. In most applications, this is generally equivalent to choosing Edit > Undo. There are some applications, however, where the Undo command may work differently—undoing more than you might want. The Cancel Last Expansion command is useful in such applications, particularly when you type an abbreviation that you didn’t mean to. New Special Key for use in shorthand expansions to explicitly specify the final position of the insertion point (Insert pop-up > Special Key > Position Cursor Here). Ability to show and sort by Date Modified in Shorthand Glossary document windows. Control-click the table column header to see a shortcut menu to set the visibility of the columns.
