Spell Checking While Typing

This is a feature that lets you keep a close eye on your spelling as you type in your content files.

How to Spell Check While Typing

1. Open a content file.
2. Select Tools > Spell Check While Typing.
3. Type text in your file. Questionable words are underlined with a jagged red line.
4. To take action on a questionable word, right-click on it. Then select one of the following from the menu:
   • [Suggestions] Alternate spelling suggestions are listed in bold at the top of the menu. If you want to use one of those spellings instead of the current spelling, select the new word.
   • Ignore All Contributor ignores the spelling of the word. This means that if other occurrences of the word are found in any other files in future sessions, they will not be flagged as questionable spellings. This is similar to adding words to a dictionary. The difference is that this feature simply ignores questionable spellings of certain words, whereas a dictionary also lists spellings as suggestions.

   • Add To Global Dictionary Contributor adds the word to a global dictionary so that it is not flagged as a questionable spelling in the future. The word will also be displayed as a suggestion for future questionable spellings that are very similar.

5. Click to save your work.
