Checking spelling
If you haven’t exited spell check by pressing
esc
, when it finishes
checking your file, it displays a message that the spell check is
complete and returns you to your file.
Spell check tips
Use these tips to streamline your spell checks:
•
You can spell check a selection within a file. This can be useful if
you have a long document and want to check only a portion of it
at a time. To spell check a selection, select the area and press
ctrl-spell check
.
•
You can globally replace a word you frequently misspell with the
correct spelling. For example, if you routinely type
teh
for
the
,
when spell check catches this mistake, press
ctrl-enter
to replace
all instances of
teh
with
the
in your file.
•
You can ignore all occurrences of a word that spell check flags as
misspelled. This saves you from having to press a key to ignore
the word each time it’s found. This is a useful way to bypass
custom terms or proper names. When you’re spell checking a
document and spell check questions a properly spelled word not
in its dictionary, press
ctrl-I
to ignore all instances of that word in
the file.
Tip!
You can create your own custom user dictionary for
AlphaWord Plus. See “User dictionary” on page 39 for details.

You might have times when you want to turn off spell check. You can
turn it off (and turn it back on) in one of three ways:

•
From Neo, using the Control Panel SmartApplet (page 64)
