original.
For example, you can use the Insert Picture command to place simple placeholder dynamic objects
(such as small squares) where you want finished graphics to appear in text. When the final graphic
is available, replace the placeholder dynamic object in the Symbol Library palette with the finished
graphic. With this method, you do not have to change each instance of a graphic individually or alter
the publication’s layout.

Checking the spelling of text
Canvas can check the spelling of all text in a document, including text bound to a path by the Path
Text tool or the Bind Text command. Canvas can check the spelling of specific words, selections and
entire documents. Canvas can also check the spelling of words as you type.
Canvas checks the spelling of text by looking up words in the Canvas Dictionary and the User
Dictionary. The Canvas dictionary contains 100,000 words. You can add words to the User Dictionary
to stop Canvas from marking unrecognized words that are spelled correctly.
The Canvas dictionary file can’t be modified.
