Spell check goes through the document's text a word at a time. Each word it does not recognise is shown in the Spelling tab of the panel on the right, and marked on the page.
Steps
- In the rail, choose Edit (or Review), then Spell check in the Proofing group.
- The Spelling tab opens and checks every page. You can Stop it while it reads.
- For each word, the tab shows where it is and the line it is on, and the page shows it marked.
- Choose a suggestion, or type the word you want in Change to.
- Choose Replace to change this word, or Replace all to change every place it is written exactly that way.
- Choose Ignore to leave it, Ignore all to leave it everywhere in this check, or Add to dictionary to stop it being flagged again.
Good to know
- Under Also check, choose whether comments and form fields are checked too. Both are on unless you turn them off, here or in Settings.
- Words are checked against English.
- Words you add are kept in your personal dictionary and used in every later check.
- A word is replaced where it is printed. If a word cannot be changed on its own there, for example because it is split across two pieces of text, the tab says so and nothing changes; use "Edit text on the page" to change the line.
- In a signed document, replacing a word is treated like any other edit: you are warned first that it breaks the signatures, unless you have turned that warning off.
- A comment or field too long to change here is still checked, and the tab says when one cannot be changed.
