Spell check tips

Use these tips to streamline your spell checks:
• You can spell check a selection within a file. This can be useful if
you have a long document and want to check only a portion of it
at a time. To spell check a selection, select the area and press
ctrl-spell check
• You can globally replace a word you frequently misspell with the
correct spelling. For example, if you routinely type teh for the,
when spell check catches this mistake, press
all instances of teh with the in your file.
• You can ignore all occurrences of a word that spell check flags as
misspelled. This saves you from having to press a key to ignore
the word each time it's found. This is a useful way to bypass
custom terms or proper names. When you're spell checking a
document and spell check questions a properly spelled word not
in its dictionary, press
the file.
You can create your own custom user dictionary for
