Other options

  • Ignore once : it's possible to ignore an error one time. This means that if the error reoccurs later in the text, spell check will still mark it as incorrect.
  • Ignore all : it's possible to ignore every instance that an error, such as "Ordissimo", occurs in the document. 
  • Correct : replace an unknown word with a spell check suggestion.
  • Correct all : the chosen suggestion for a certain misspelled word will be used each time that word appears in the text. 
  • Always correct : the word will automatically be corrected if you continue to make the same error.
  • Close : you can close the spell check function at any time.

 

While very useful, spell check isn't foolproof and remains within the limits of its programming. If your text is important, make sure to carefully reread it (especially for grammar mistakes).
