Using the Check Spelling feature
To check spelling of text in a document, you use the Check Spelling feature, which checks

the word, or add it to the personal dictionary.
To use the Check Spelling feature:
1. Select Text > Check Spelling to view the Check Spelling dialog box.
The text box in the upper left corner identifies words not found in the selected dictionary
or dictionaries, and also identifies the type of element where the text is located (such as
text field, frame label, or other).
2. Do one of the following:
■
Click the Add to Personal button to add the word to your personal dictionary.
■
Click Ignore to leave the word unchanged. Click Ignore All to leave all occurrences of
the word in the document unchanged.
■
Enter a word in the Change To text box or select a word from the Suggestions scroll
list. Then click Change to change the word or click Change All to change all
occurrences of the word in the document.
■
Click Delete to delete the word from the document.
3. To change Spelling Setup options, click Setup.
4. To end spelling checking, do one of the following:
■
Click Close to end spelling before Flash reaches the end of the document.
■
Continue checking spelling until you see a notification that Flash has reached the end
of the document, then click No to end spelling checking. Click Yes to resume spelling
checking at the beginning of the document.
