Tip If you need to check the spelling in a communications document, you
can copy and paste the text into a word processing document, and then check
spelling there. Or, save your communications document as text, then reopen

Hyphenating words
You can use automatic hyphenation to prevent entire words from moving to
the next line. You can also change where words hyphenate.
To turn automatic hyphenation on or off, choose Writing Tools from the Edit
menu, and then choose Auto-Hyphenate.
To specify how a single word should be hyphenated, place the insertion point
where you would like the word to break and press Ctrl+ -(hyphen).

When you’re searching for the best word, you can look up synonyms—
words of similar meaning—in the onscreen thesaurus that is provided with
AppleWorks. The AppleWorks thesaurus is a collection of more than
220,000 words organized by synonyms.
