Checking your spelling
You can check all the text in the document, or text that you select.
Once you choose either command, the Spelling dialog box appears and
AppleWorks begins checking for questionable words.
The spelling checker verifies the words you are checking in the main
dictionary, which is installed with AppleWorks, and any installed user
dictionaries. If it does not find a word, it suggests alternatives. If the spelling
of the word in question is correct (such as the spelling of someone’s name),
you can add the word to a user dictionary by clicking Learn.
