Specifying Whether an Element is a Word Boundary
You can specify elements in a document type's .dcf file that you want to be considered a word boundary when authors do a spelling check. These elements are considered the start of a new word for spell checking purposes. This setting only applies to inline elements, as block elements are always considered as starting a new word and sentence.
Note that this option will override the setting of the skipinlineelements preference if set to any value except default.
To specify elements to be a word boundary during a spelling check:
1. Open Arbortext Architect.
2. Choose > .
3. Locate the directory in which the document type whose .dcf file you want to modify is saved, and click Select.
4. Once the document type is loaded, choose > . If the document type has a .dcf file, it displays in the Arbortext ArchitectDCF Editor window. If there is no .dcf file associated with this document type, Arbortext Architect automatically creates one.
5. Locate the ElementOptions element in the DCF Editor. If the file doesn't include an ElementOptions element, add one.

◦ yes — The element always starts a new word, regardless of the setting of the skipinlineelements preference.
