Spell Check

Use the Spell Check to

• check the spelling in a selection, from the insertion point to the end of the document, or in the entire document.

• compare the spelling in the current document or in all documents to one of several internal dictionaries and to a user dictionary that you develop and modify.

• define certain aspects of the text that you want the program to check or to ignore, such as words containing numbers or repeated words.

The Spell Check doesn't check mathematics, nor does it check words embedded in mathematics.

TIP: Save your document before you use the Spell Check. If you don't like the results, close the document without saving it to discard the changes.
