The case column and its contents

In the User Lexicon menu, you can store all nouns, abbreviations, units of measurement and misspellings that are not contained in the software's system dictionary. These can be artificial words, for example. By storing these words, you ensure that they are analyzed correctly during subsequent processing in Congree.

To enable correct analysis, the case of each entry must be specified. This is done in the case column of the respective submenus.+
