from the submenu.

Check and correct spelling
When you check the spelling in a document, Photoshop questions any words that aren’t in its dictionary. If a questioned word is spelled correctly,
you can confirm its spelling by adding the word to your personal dictionary. If a questioned word is misspelled, you can correct it.
1. If necessary, in the Character panel, choose a language from the pop
-
up menu at the bottom of the panel. This is the dictionary Photoshop
uses to check spelling.
2. (Optional) Show or unlock type layers. The Check Spelling command does not check spelling in hidden or locked layers.
3. Do one of the following:
Select a type layer.
To check specific text, select the text.
To check a word, place the insertion point in the word.
4. Choose Edit > Check Spelling.
5. If you selected a type layer and want to check the spelling of only that layer, deselect Check All Layers.
6. As Photoshop finds unfamiliar words and other possible errors, click one of the following:
Ignore Continues the spelling check without changing the text.
Ignore All Ignores the questioned word during the rest of the spelling check.
Change Corrects a misspelling. Make sure that the correctly spelled word is in the Change To text box and click Change. If the suggested
word is not the word you want, select a different word in the Suggestions text box or enter the correct word in the Change To text box.
Change All Corrects all instances of the misspelling in the document. Make sure the correctly spelled word is in the Change To text box.
Add Stores the unrecognized word in the dictionary, so that subsequent occurrences are not flagged as misspellings.
Find and replace text
1. Do one of the following:
Select the layer containing the text you want to find and replace. Place the insertion point at the beginning of the text you want to search.
Select a nontype layer if you have more than one type layer and you want to search all layers in the document.
Note: In the Layers panel, make sure the type layers you want to search are visible and unlocked. The Find And Replace Text
command does not check spelling in hidden or locked layers.
2. Choose Edit > Find And Replace Text.
3. In the Find What box, type or paste the text you want to find. To change the text, type the new text in the Change To text box.
4. Select one or more options to refine your search.
Search All Layers Searches all layers in a document. This option is available when a nontype layer is selected in the Layers panel.
Forward Searches forward from an insertion point in the text. Deselect this option to search all the text in a layer, regardless of where the
insertion point is placed.
Case Sensitive Searches for a word or words that exactly match the case of the text in the Find What text box. For example, with the Case
Sensitive option selected, a search for “PrePress” does not find “Prepress” or “PREPRESS.”
Whole Word Only Disregards the search text if it is embedded in a larger word. For example, if you are searching for “any” as a whole
word, “many” is disregarded.
5. Click Find Next to begin the search.
6. Click one of the following buttons.
Change Replaces the found text with the revised text. To repeat the search, select Find Next.
