# Check spelling

You can have Comic Life check spelling while you type and correct mistakes automatically. You can also have Comic Life check grammar and add terms to the dictionary so they’re not marked as misspellings.

1. Do one of the following:
   - Press Command-Semicolon (;) on the keyboard to show the first misspelled word. Press it again to see the next misspelling, and so on.
   - Choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Grammar With Spelling (a checkmark indicates it's on), then choose Check Document Now. The first spelling error is highlighted, and grammar errors are underlined in green.
2. To see suggested spellings or grammar corrections for a word, Control-click it, then click the correction you want to use.
3. To ignore a misspelling, Control-click the word, then choose Ignore Spelling.

   The word is ignored if it occurs again in the document (and is highlighted in other documents).

4. To show the next error, press Command-Semicolon.

You can open the Spelling and Grammar window to check spelling and grammar in your document.

- Choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Show Spelling and Grammar (from the Edit menu at the top of your screen).

  To check only specific text, first select the text.
