Illustrator

Particularities

  • The Antidote toolbar is not displayed automatically. To use it, click the Antidote Agent menu and select Show the Antidote toolbar for Illustrator. You will only need to do this once.

You can use Antidote in Illustrator the following ways:

  • If a block of text is highlighted, Antidote will only correct this section.
  • If the cursor is within a block of text, the correction will begin on the sentence where the cursor is and will continue until the end of the block.
  • If no block of text is selected, Antidote will correct the whole document.

After selecting the element(s) you want to correct, launch the corrector from Antidote’s menu.

  • Antidote displays all corrected blocks of text in sequence.

The Antidote Agent is represented by a flask icon in the system tray next to the clock, near the bottom right corner of your screen. You may need to click the chevron to display all the icons in the notification area. Right-click the flask icon to open the menu and access all Antidote’s resources and more.

Tip — Pin the flask icon for easy access! To do so, click the chevron , then drag and drop the flask icon to the notification area.

To correct a passage or to look up a word:

  1. Select the text.
  2. Right-click Antidote’s flask icon.
  3. Select the resource you want to use from the menu.

You can use this menu to launch Antidote from any application you are writing in. If Antidote integrates with the software in question, any changes you make in the corrector will be applied automatically to the source text. Otherwise, you need to copy the corrected text and paste it back into the original document.
