Using the spelling checker
The writing tools let you check your text in many ways.
By using the spelling checker, you can check the spelling in a spreadsheet.
You can manually edit text and then resume checking the spelling.
The spelling checker replaces words or phrases in two ways: you can choose a word, or define an automatic replacement for a word. Defining automatic replacement words is useful for words that are regularly misspelled. Automatic replacement words are stored in a user word list file. For more information about user word list files, see “Working with user word lists.”
You can skip a writing error once but flag subsequent occurrences of the problem, or you can skip the error for the rest of the proofreading session.
