Spelling Preferences

The Find section of the Spelling preferences controls what types of problems the spelling checker flags during a spelling check .

Use the Find controls in the Spelling category to choose which words are flagged during a spelling check.

To set the Find options for Spelling:

1.	Select Misspelled Words to find words that are not known in the spelling dictionary.
2.	Select Repeated Words to find instances of words that are repeated, such as "the the spelling checker."
3.	Select Uncapitalized Words to find words that are listed in the dictionary as capitalized. For instance, proper names of countries are capitalized in the dictionary.
4.	Select Uncapitalized Sentences to flag uncapitalized words that begin sentences. For instance, the figure numbers I use in this book are interpreted by the spelling checker as uncapitalized sentences. So I can turn off this option to avoid having those numbers flagged.

Dynamic spelling highlights errors right on your page. If you want to work with dynamic spelling, you have a choice as to which colors the errors are underlined with.

To set the Dynamic Spelling options:

1.	Select Enable Dynamic Spelling in the Spelling preferences . Use the Dynamic Spelling controls to turn on dynamic spelling and specify colors for each of the error categories.
2.	Use the Underline Color menus to specify the color used to highlight misspelled words, repeated words, uncapitalized words, and uncapitalized sentences.
