Navigating Around Potential Typos

The Potential Typos context menu offers a variety of panning and zooming commands to help users gain a better understanding of how a potential typo should be handled. These navigation options are at the bottom of the context menu.

Zoom On Word. This command zooms to the extent of the textual object that contains the word that was right-clicked. For example, if the word is within a legend, this command will show the full legend. If the word is within a map or layout annotation, it will zoom on that object.
Zoom In/Out zooms in or out of the center of the display based on the zoom factor selected.
Zoom Back/Next zooms back or forward to a previously set layout extent.
Panning can be performed by scrolling and by page movement.

These latter tools perform exactly the same functions and have the same behavior as the following commands from the ArcMap Customize dialog.

Important Notes

When spell-checking the layout page from the MapSpeller toolbar, the MapSpeller navigation commands act on the layout page itself, not its data frames. They are similar to the commands from the ArcMap Layout toolbar. The layout page represents what users want to print and therefore MapSpeller doesn't change its content other than correcting typos, if requested.
When spell-checking a table, the active view (layout or data view) will be in the background and can be used to help users determine what to do with potential errors in field values when the table is spatial table (typically a feature class). Users may or may not care about the current extent/content of the active view, including the layout page. Therefore, the MapSpeller Options dialog lets users decide if the extent of the map containing the layer associated with the potential typo should be changed by the software in order to display that typo.
If the full width or height of the page is visible in the layout view, the panning tools (Scroll & Page) will not move the layout sideways or up-and-down, respectively. This is a behavior built-in by ESRI.
