Prefixes
The list of prefixes that PerfectIt checks in the Compound Words check works in the same way as the list of italics. For example, by default, PerfectIt checks the prefix ‘anti’ for consistency. It will suggest there could be an issue if the words ‘anti-bullying’ and ‘anti aircraft’ appear in the same document since one is hyphenated and the other is not. The available options are:
Consistency
With hyphen
With space
Closed
Do not test
As with italics, you can also add additional prefixes to the list and set preferences for each of those.
