# 7.5. Spell Checking

The "Spell Checking..." command can be invoked 2 ways:

- By selecting Extra->Spell Checking... from the Menu bar

- By clicking on the toolbar.

Spell Checking your document is controlled through a dialog box.

In this example, the mispelled word KWord found, was "youve". It has only one suggestion "you've".

There is a progress bar below the list of suggestions which tells you how much of the document has been spell checked.

From here you have eight options:

- Replace - Replaces the current word with the suggestion. Only replaces this occurance.

- Replace All - Replaces all occurances of the current word with the suggestion.

- Ignore - Do not make any changes to this occurance. Ask me if this work appears again.

- Ignore All - Do not make any changes to this or any other occurance. Do not ask me about this word again.

- Add - Add the current word to the dictionary. STUFF!!!

- Stop - Keep the current changes, but stop any further checking.

- Close - Stop spell checking.

- Help - Loads this help file.

When the entire document has been checked, KWord will return you to editing your document.
