If you haven't exited spell check by pressing esc, when it finishes checking
your file, it notifies you that the spell check is complete and returns you to
your file.
Use these tips to streamline your spell checks:
• You can spell check part of a file by selecting the text and pressing
ctrl-spell check.
• You can have spell check replace all occurrences of a word you frequently
misspell with the correct spelling. For example, if you routinely type teh for
the, when spell check catches this mistake in one place, press ctrl-enter
to replace all instances of teh with the in your file.
