# Working with Spelling Suggestions

Use the Spelling window to work with alternative spellings.

To work with spelling suggestions:
- Choose Edit->Spelling->Spelling.

  The Spelling window opens and the first misspelled word is highlighted.

  Each language has a different spelling dictionary.

- To replace the incorrect spelling in the text, double-click the correct word or spelling in the list of suggested corrections.
- If the correct word doesn't appear in the list of suggested corrections but you know the correct spelling, select the misspelled word in the Spelling window, type the correct word, and click Correct.
- If the current spelling is correct and you want to leave it as it is, click Ignore or Learn. Use Learn if the term is one you use often and you want to add the term to the spelling dictionary.
- Click Find Next and repeat steps 2 through 4 until you find no more spelling errors.

You can also hold down the [Control](Mac) key and click on a misspelled word. (Or simply right click on Windows). From the pop-up menu you can choose an optional alternative spelling.
