Spelling window

This window enables you to correct a word that is identified as misspelled by replacing it with a suggested word or by changing the spelling. If you know the word is correct, but it is not recognised by the default dictionary, you can ignore the word or add it to the dictionary. The section at the top of the window displays the text being checked.

The options and fields in the Spelling window are described below.
