Replace Click this button to replace the unrecognized word with the contents of
the text box and continue to spell check the document.
Add If Canvas doesn’t recognize a word that is actually spelled correctly, add
the word to the User Dictionary so that Canvas recognizes it in future
documents (see "Modifying the User Dictionary" on page 628). After
saving the word, Canvas continues to spell check.
Ignore Allows an unrecognized word in the current document without adding
the word to the dictionary. Canvas ignores all instances of the word until
you close Canvas.
Skip Allows the current instance of an unrecognized word, but Canvas alerts
you the next time this word occurs.
Cancel Interrupts the spell check and closes the dialog box.
To continue a spell check:

you left off. Canvas remembers the words you chose to ignore.
