To Check the Spelling in a Message

To check the spelling in a message, choose Edit -> Spell Check Document.

When the spellchecker encounters a misspelled word, the Spell checker dialog displays a list of suggestions to replace the misspelled word. You can perform the following actions from the Spell checker dialog:

• To replace the misspelled word with one of the suggestions in the Spell checker dialog, select the suggestion, then click on the Replace button.

• To ignore the misspelled word, click on the Ignore button. The spellchecker no longer identifies the word as a misspelled word.

• To move to the next misspelled word and make no change to the current word, click on the Skip button.

• To return to the previous misspelled word and make no change to the current word, click on the Back button.

• To add the misspelled word to a dictionary, select the dictionary from the Add to dictionary drop-down list, then click on the Add word button.

Evolution checks the spelling of your messages against the languages that you have enabled in your Evolution preferences. To use another language to check the spelling of your message, choose Edit -> Current Languages, then select the language you require.
