Hi,

This is not a built in way to do this. You could script it.

1, collect all the spelling errors.

2, apply a text condition to the found spelling errors.

There was a thread about finding the spelling errors.

edited, here is a link.

Here is the script that Pickory mentioned, with a small addition to add a text condition, as he suggested, to the found words rather than listing them.

First add a text condition to your document. Use the name Typo and set its appearance. Then run the script.

(function () {
  
  const props = app.spellPreferences.properties;
  const spellWindow = app.menuActions.item ('$ID/Check Spelling...');
  
  var typos = [];
  var knownTypo = {};
  
  function record (typo) {
    if (!knownTypo[typo]) {
      knownTypo[typo] = true;
      typos.push (typo);
    }
  }

  // Begin ----------------------------------------------
  
  const condition = app.activeDocument.conditions.item('Typo');
  if (!condition.isValid) {
    alert ('Create a condition "Typo"');
    exit();
  }
  
  // Hide the layout window to speed things up
  app.windows[0].minimize();
  
  app.spellPreferences.properties = {
    checkCapitalizedSentences: false,
    checkCapitalizedWords: false,
    checkRepeatedWords: false,
    checkMisspelledWords: true
  }

  spellWindow.invoke();
  if (!app.selection.length) { // No spelling errors, nothing to do
    exit();
  }

  // If there's a typo, it's now selected
  record (app.selection[0].contents);
  var i = app.selection[0].index; // The location of the typo
  spellWindow.invoke();
  while (app.selection[0].index !== i) { // Stop when we catch the same word
    i = app.selection[0].index;
    record (app.selection[0].contents);
    spellWindow.invoke(); // Go to the next typo
  }
  app.selection = null;
  
  // Restore the layout window and the spell preferences
  app.activate();
  app.spellPreferences.properties = props;
  
  // Create a new document and add the typos.
  //app.documents.add().textFrames.add ({
  //  geometricBounds: app.documents[0].pages[0].bounds,
  //  contents: typos.sort().join('\r'),
  //});

  app.findTextPreferences = app.findChangeTextOptions = null;
  app.changeTextPreferences.appliedConditions = [condition];
  app.findChangeTextOptions.wholeWord = true;
  for (var i = typos.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
    app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = typos[i];
    app.activeDocument.changeText();
  }
  
}());

Hello Peter

Thank you for my help and share script. but i am not understand that meaning of 'First add a text condition to your document' how can i do. Please suggest me.

[Peter Kahrel]

You need to create a Conditional Text item. Go to Window > Type & Tables > Conditional Text. In the panel, create a new condition and name it Type:

Hello Peter

Thank You for share code. I want to print zigzag red line in my hard copy or on paper. Please help me. This code for check spelling but i am not want to correctg spelling.  I want to print wrong spelling with zigzag line in my printout. 

[Peter Kahrel]

As I mentioned above, create a Conditional Text item (see earlier post), then run the script. To learn more about conditional text, consult InDesign's help or an InDesign primer.

[Pickory]

The script from Peter works very well for me. seep my pdf.

You need a text condition called 'Typo', set its appearance to wavy line, red and to print.
