To get a list of spelling suggestions:
1 Hold down the Control key and click the misspelled word. A list of optional spellings
appears (a word may generate no optional spellings if it cannot be recognized at all).

If you know you have spelled the word correctly, and you want to add it to the
spelling dictionary used for all documents, choose Learn Spelling from the pop-up list.
If you don’t want this word to be flagged as misspelled, but you don’t want to add it
to the spelling dictionary used for all documents, choose Ignore Spelling from the
pop-up list.
Once you correct the misspelled word, the red line disappears.
To check spelling in your document one word at a time:
m Place the cursor in a word you want to check, or anywhere in the document, and then
do one of the following:
 Choose Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling.

beginning wherever you placed your cursor. The first misspelled word found is
highlighted. You can correct it or choose the same menu command again, to
continue checking the document. To go through the document more quickly, press
Command-semicolon (;) to continue checking the document.
 Choose Edit > Spelling > Spelling.
The Spelling window opens with a list of suggested spellings. If you don’t see any
that look correct, you can retype the word and click Guess to see a new list of
suggestions. Select one and click Correct to apply it to the misspelled word. Click
Find Next to go to the next misspelled word.
Use the Dictionary pop-up menu in the Spelling window to use a different language
dictionary for a selected word. Changing the dictionary in the Spelling window does
not change the dictionary for the entire document, but only for individual words.
