To check the spelling in a file:
1 Choose Type > Check Spelling.
The Check Spelling dialog box displays a list of words not found in the current Adobe
Illustrator dictionary.
2 To list separately words that are misspelled in the same way but that are in different
cases (such as Mispell and mispell), select the Case Sensitive option.
3 To see a list of alternative spellings for a misspelled word, click the word in the
Misspelled Words list. The first instance of that word is highlighted in your file, and any
alternative spellings appear in the Suggested Corrections list.
4 Do one of the following:
• To enter a new spelling for a misspelled word, either click the correct spelling in the
Suggested Corrections text box or type the corrected spelling in the text box. To
change the first instance of the misspelled word in the file, click Change or double-click
the correct word. To change every instance of the selected misspelled word in the file,
select the correct word, and click Change All.
• To skip a word without changing it, click Skip. To skip every instance of the word in the
file, click Skip All. This option removes the word from the Misspelled Words list, but the
word reappears the next time the file is checked.
• To add the word to your dictionary, click Add to List. To add several words at once, hold
down Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Command (Mac OS) while clicking or dragging the
mouse to select the words.
5 To edit your current dictionary list, click Edit List and do one of the following:
• To change a word in the dictionary list, select a word in the list, retype it in the text box,
and click Change.
• To add a new word, type it in the text box, and click Add.
• To remove a word, select the word, and click Remove.
6 Click Done.
