    For every word that is not in the user dictionary, a list with suggestions for alternative spellings appears:
  3. Choose one of the following options:
    1. Ignore Once; the word remains unchanged, but Spelling will ask again if the word appears in other places in the text.
    2. Ignore All; the word remains unchanged and will not be checked again if it appears in other places in the text.
    3. Add to Dictionary; this word will be added to your user dictionary and never reappear in a spell check again.
    4. Change; only the active word will be changed to the spelling you selected.
    5. Change All; the word will be changed everywhere it appears in the text.
    6. Cancel; stop Spelling.

Spell-checking in multiple Description screens:

  1. In the Topics screen select the topic whose subtopics you want to spell check.
  2. On the Tools tab select Spelling in Subtopics.

    Note: To directly run Spelling in Subtopics, press the keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+F7.
  3. The procedure is the same as the spell check in the active Description screen, except that the spell check will jump from one Description screen to the next.
