To specify curly or straight quotes

quotes are traditionally used for quotation marks and apostrophes. Straight quotes are traditionally used as abbrevi­
ations for feet and inches.

To 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.
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.

Select a type layer.
