<tmdoc-title|Spell checking>
If the program <verbatim|ispell> has been installed on your system, then
you may use it to check your text for misspelled words by pressing
<shortcut|(spell-start)> or <menu|Edit|Spell>. Notice that you might have
to verify that the dictionaries corresponding to the languages in which
your texts have been written have been installed on your system; this is
usually the case for English.
When you launch the spell checker (either on the whole text or on a
selected region), you will be prompted at each misspelled word and the
footer displays the available options:
<\description>
<item*|a)>Accepts the misspelled word and all its future occurrences in
the text.
<item*|r)>Replace the misspelled word by a correction that you have to
enter.
<item*|i)>Indicate that the \Pmisspelled\Q word is actually correct and
that it has to be inserted in your personal dictionary.
<item*|1-9)>Several suggested corrections for your misspelled word.
</description>
Notice that <verbatim|ispell> just checks for misspelled words. No
grammatical faults will be detected.
When starting the spell checker, it will use the dictionary of the language
that is active at the current cursor position (or the start of a
selection). Only text in that language will be checked. If your document
contains text in several languages, then you will have to launch the spell
checker once for each language being used.
