splf (4 bits): This MUST be one of the following values.

Name

Value

Meaning

splfPending

0x1

Specifies that the text range is currently undergoing checking in another thread.

Used only within the PlcfFactoid structure.

On load, this is converted to splfDirty.

splfMaybeDirty

0x2

Specifies that the text range was edited, and could be re-scanned. Having text ranges in the document with this value does not, by itself, cause a new scan. This value MUST only be used in the header document.

splfDirty

0x3

Specifies that the text range was created or changed since the last scan, and that a new scan is needed to evaluate it. Additionally, the PlcfGram structure SHOULD<238> use this value for all grammatical errors, in which case fError is set to 1.

splfEdit

0x4

Specifies that the text range has been created or changed, and that the user is still editing in the vicinity. A scan is not needed for this text range until the user can be assumed to be finished making the edits.

splfForeign

0x5

Specifies that the text range is a foreign language or phrase.

When used by the language auto-detection, the language was explicitly set and no auto-detection is necessary.

When used by the spell-checker or grammar-checker, the text range is not subject to further checking.

splfClean

0x7

Specifies that the text range was checked and contains no errors or other special states.

splfNoLAD

0x8

Specifies that the text range is to be skipped by language auto-detection.

Used only within Plcflad.

splfErrorMin

0xA

Specifies that the text range contains an error.

splfRepeatWord

0xB

Specifies that the text range contains a word or phrase that duplicates a preceding word or phrase. It is an error.

splfUnknownWord

0xC

Specifies that the text range contains a word that is unknown to the language checker. It is an error.

A - fError (1 bit): The range is an error. This bit MUST be set when the splf value is splfErrorMin, splfRepeatWord, or splfUnknownWord. It can also be set when the splf value is splfDirty or splfEdit, which both indicate that the range is currently an error but is still subject to further checking. This bit MUST NOT be set for any other splf value.

B - fExtend (1 bit): The range is an error. When rechecked, the surrounding text is also rechecked.

C - fTypo (1 bit): The range is a spelling error that was caught by a grammar-checker.

unused (9 bits): This field is not used. This value MUST be 0.
