Using Automatic Spell Checking

When automatic spell checking is enabled, the spell checker will run auto­matic­ally whenever you exit a text box. Only the words in that text box will be checked.

To enable automatic spell checking for text boxes

1. Open the Tools menu and select Options.

2. Check the Auto Check check box on the Workspace tab of the Options dia­log.

3. Click to close the Options dialog.

To use automatic spell checking

1. Enter or edit the text in your text boxes as you normally do.

2. When you press or click outside the text box, the spell checker will run auto­matically. If it finds a questionable word, it will display the Check Spelling dialog. The text in the text box will be displayed at the bottom of the dialog box.

3. Correct or ignore the error.

Note:

If you do not see the Check Spelling dialog, it means there were no spel­ling errors in the text box.
