    Bulletproof Word Detection<\/span><\/h3>\n

    To reliably identify exactly which word you right-clicked, Open Publisher uses a three-tier detection approach:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      \"Bulletproof<\/h3>\n

      Tier 1 –<\/strong> Checks whether you explicitly highlighted the word before right-clicking.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Tier 2 –<\/strong> Uses the X\/Y pixel coordinates of your click to locate the nearest text node on the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Tier 3 –<\/strong> Falls back to the current cursor (caret) position if the click did not land directly on the text.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This layered approach ensures the correct word is always identified and corrected, regardless of how precisely you clicked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
