Spell Checker
Used to review text, text nodes, tags, dimensions, notes and symbols for spelling errors.
For every unrecognized word, Spell Checker offers a list of suggestions. You can choose to change the flagged word with one of the suggested words, or to leave it as is by clicking the Ignore button. If you want Spell Checker to automatically ignore certain words that it normally might flag, such as a product’s name or an abbreviation, you can add them to a special user dictionary.
You can add user defined dictionaries and use them in the spell checker. See the procedure To add a user defined dictionary.
