Using spell check

1. Choose Edit > Spell Check or right-click the text field and select Spell Check. You can also click the Check Spelling button on the formatting toolbar in multi-line text fields.

The Check Spelling dialog box opens.

2. Click Ignore to ignore a misspelled word or Ignore All to ignore all instances of the word.
