# Spell Checking

In the Spell Check menu, you can check the spelling of the text in a text layer. When spelling errors are encountered, a red line is drawn through words not in its dictionary. By default, the spell checker uses the language and dictionary installed with the operating system to verify the spelling of words. You can also create your own custom dictionary.

NoteIf the spell checker is not installed on your system, the Spell Check menu controls are disabled.

To access the Spell Check menu:

1. In the Text menu, click Spell Check.

   The Spell Check menu appears.

The Spell Check controls are described as follows.

Language
  Selects the language the spell checker should use.
Check All Layers
  Runs the spell checker on the text layers. When the spell checker encounters a misspelled word, it draws a red line through it.
Hide Spelling Errors
  Hides the red strike through the line that appears in each misspelled word.
Custom Dictionary
  Uses your custom dictionary with the spell checker. Disable this button to check all spelling.
Previous and Next
  Navigates to the next or previous misspelled word.
Add To Custom Dictionary
  Adds a word that the spell checker has deemed misspelled to the custom dictionary. The next time the spell checker encounters this word, it will be ignored.

To spell check a text layer:

1. In the Text menu, click Spell Check.
2. Enable Check All Layers.

   Lines appear through misspelled words.

3. To correct misspellings, in Edit mode, click Next or Previous to navigate to each misspelled word.
