Check and correct spelling
When you check the spelling in a document, Photoshop questions any words that aren’t in its dictionary. If a
questioned word is spelled correctly, you can confirm its spelling by adding the word to your personal dictionary. If a
questioned word is misspelled, you can correct it.
1 If necessary, in the Character panel, choose a language from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the panel. This is
the dictionary Photoshop uses to check spelling.
2 (Optional) Show or unlock type layers. The Check Spelling command does not check spelling in hidden or locked
layers.
3 Do one of the following:
• Select a type layer.
• To check specific text, select the text.
• To check a word, place the insertion point in the word.
4 Choose Edit > Check Spelling.
5 If you selected a type layer and want to check the spelling of only that layer, deselect Check All Layers.
6 As Photoshop finds unfamiliar words and other possible errors, click one of the following:
Ignore Continues the spelling check without changing the text.
Ignore All Ignores the questioned word during the rest of the spelling check.
Change Corrects a misspelling. Make sure that the correctly spelled word is in the Change To text box and click
Change. If the suggested word is not the word you want, select a different word in the Suggestions text box or enter the
correct word in the Change To text box.
Change All Corrects all instances of the misspelling in the document. Make sure the correctly spelled word is in the
Change To text box.
Add Stores the unrecognized word in the dictionary, so that subsequent occurrences are not flagged as misspellings.
Find and replace text
1 Do one of the following:
• Select the layer containing the text you want to find and replace. Place the insertion point at the beginning of the
text you want to search.
• Select a nontype layer if you have more than one text layer and you want to search all layers in the document.
Note: In the Layers panel, make sure the text layers you want to search are visible and unlocked. The Find And Replace
Text command does not check spelling in hidden or locked layers.
