An ArcMap™ bookmark is a geographic extent saved under a name and
recallable from the ArcMap Bookmarks menu. Bookmarking potential
typos from within MapSpeller™ is useful to get back to those words'
locations after exiting the Potential Typos dialog. Users may want to
edit those words manually using the ArcMap commands, for example.
|
To create a bookmark from the Potential Typos
dialog,
- Right-click on the word to get its context menu
- Select the Bookmark command
- Click OK on the dialog indicating that the bookmark was
successfully created.
|
To return to the extent of a word's bookmark, in the data view or layout
view:
- Activate the data frame (map) that
contains the word
- From the ArcMap menu bar, a bookmark named after the
bookmarked word
should be listed under the Bookmarks menu
- Select the bookmark to
zoom to the extent originally set around the word.

Bookmarking a word doesn't remove its row from the MapSpeller
Potential Typos dialog, enabling users to perform additional actions on
that word. The requirements for, and extent used for, bookmarking
depend on the type of object being bookmarked:
- Objects on the layout page
Objects on the layout page as layout text, legends or scales don't
have a real world location and therefore can't be bookmarked.
- Text elements in maps
- The MapSpeller bookmark command is only enabled when the
map containing the object has a reference scale set. Setting it done
by right-clicking on the data frame name in the ArcMap table of contents
and selecting Reference Scale > Set Reference Scale. It can be reset in
a similar manner after the spell checking process ends.
- Bookmarks are set to the envelope of the object containing the word
that was
right-clicked on in the Potential Typo dialog.
- Points in feature tables
Bookmarks are set to geographic extents. A point feature doesn't
have an extent and therefore its bookmark is set to the extent of
the feature's map at the time the bookmark is set. Users are
expected to zoom and pan on the map to the extent that they want to
use before setting the bookmark.
- Lines and polygons in feature tables
Bookmarks for linear and polygonal features are set to those
objects' envelopes.
- Standalone tables
Records from standalone tables don't have a spatial component and
therefore bookmarking is turned off in such cases.
