## Checking your spelling

Freeway includes a spelling checker which highlights each suspect word in the Freeway document, and where possible suggests alternative spellings.

### To check spelling

- Open the Edit menu and choose Spelling....
- Choose Document from the Check pop-up menu to check the entire Freeway document, Story to check the item or linked HTML items containing the insertion cursor, or Item to check just the currently selected HTML or graphic item.
- Click the Start button to start checking.

The most likely suggestion is provided in the Change to box.

Alternatively you can select one of the other suggestions by clicking it in the Suggestions list.

- Click the Change button to change the unknown word to the selected word.
- Click the Ignore button to ignore the unknown word and continue checking.

Change All and Ignore All apply the corresponding option to all subsequent occurrences of this word in the document.

- Click the Add button if the unknown word is correct and you want to add it to your user dictionary so it will not be flagged in future spelling checks.

If you click the Add button in the Spelling dialog box and there is no user dictionary selected, the following dialog box will be displayed to allow you to select an existing user dictionary or create a new one, as described below:

- Click the Open button to open a user dictionary or the Create button to create a new one, as described below.

### To create a user dictionary

You can create a separate user dictionary for each project you are working on, and then select the appropriate user dictionary from the User dictionary pop-up menu in the Spelling dialog box.

- Click the Options... button in the Spelling dialog box.

The Spelling Options dialog box lists your existing user dictionaries and allows you to create a new one:

- Click the New... button to create a new user dictionary.
- Enter an appropriate name for the dictionary and click the Save button:

You can also edit the words in an existing dictionary by selecting it in the Spelling Options dialog box and clicking the Edit... button.
