Bulletproof Word Detection

To reliably identify exactly which word you right-clicked, Open Publisher uses a three-tier detection approach:

  • Bulletproof Word Detection

    Tier 1 – Checks whether you explicitly highlighted the word before right-clicking.

  • Tier 2 – Uses the X/Y pixel coordinates of your click to locate the nearest text node on the page.

  • Tier 3 – Falls back to the current cursor (caret) position if the click did not land directly on the text.

This layered approach ensures the correct word is always identified and corrected, regardless of how precisely you clicked.
