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 the dictionary. If a
questioned word is misspelled, you can correct it.

1

If necessary, in the Character palette, choose a language from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the palette. 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. If you selected a type layer and want to check the spelling
of only that layer, deselect Check All Layers.

4

Choose Edit > Check Spelling.

5

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.
