IBM Lotus Symphony


Checking spelling in all editors

Checks the current document, or selection for spelling errors. IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ includes headers, footers, index entries, and footnotes in the spellcheck. The spellcheck starts at the current cursor position and advances to the end of the document or selection. You can then choose to continue the spellcheck from the beginning of the document.

The Spell Check dialog shows up only when the spellcheck finds a mistake.
