Checking spelling
Writer provides a spelling checker, which can be used in two ways.
AutoSpellcheck checks each word as it is typed and displays a
wavy red line under any misspelled words. Once the word is
corrected, the red wavy line disappears.
To perform a separate spelling check on the document (or a text
selection) click the Spelling and Grammar button. This checks
the document or selection and opens the Spelling dialog box
(Figure 75) if any misspelled words are found.

Here are some more features of the spelling checker:
• You can right-click on a word with a wavy underline, to open a
powerful context menu. If you select from the suggested words on
the menu, the selection will replace the misspelled word in your
text. Other menu options are discussed below.
• You can change the dictionary language (for example, Spanish,
French, or German) on the Spelling dialog box.
• You can add a word to a dictionary. Click Add in the Spelling
dialog box and pick the dictionary to add it to.
