Checking spelling

You can check the spelling for topic text and within the topic notes using the standard macOS spelling features. The macOS spelling window offers advanced spell-checking options: see suggestions for misspelled words, add words to the dictionary or select a different dictionary for the spell check.

To check the spelling on your map:

  1. Choose Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling. If there are any misspellings, the first misspelled word is highlighted.

  2. Correct the word and press Command - ; (semicolon) to see the next error. Continue doing this until no more errors are found.

Tip: Hold down the Control key as you click a misspelled word to see alternate spellings and access other spelling commands.

To see misspelled words automatically as you type choose Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling As You Type.

To use advanced spell-check features:

  1. Choose Edit > Spelling > Spelling.

  2. The first misspelled word is highlighted. Do one of the following:

    • Double-click the correct word in the Guess list to replace the incorrect word. If the correct word does not appear in the Guess list but you know the correct spelling, select the misspelled word in the Spelling window, type the correct word, and click Correct.

    • Click Ignore if the current spelling is correct and you want to leave it as it is. If this is a term or name you use often, click Learn to add it to the dictionary.

    • To delete a word from the dictionary, click Forget.

    • If no alternate spellings appear in the Guess list, select the misspelled word in the Spelling window and try a different possible spelling. Click Guess to see if new possibilities appear in the Guess list. If you are sure your spelling is correct, click Learn to add the word to the dictionary.

  3. Click Find Next and repeat until you find no more errors in your document.

To see misspelled words automatically as you type choose Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling As You Type.

Tip: If you have used a word incorrectly that still has valid spelling, the spell check will not detect it. You can use the Find and Replace feature to replace the incorrect words.
