This is a feature that lets you perform spell checking for the current movie or all movies in a collection. You can also spell check keyframes and action objects. As questionable words are identified they are listed in a grid. You can select an alternative spelling, ignore the spelling warning, and add words to the dictionary so that future occurrences are not flagged as possible misspellings.
