Tips & Tricks to perform spell check in InDesign

[HARSHIKA_VERMA]

InDesign offers a comprehensive set of text tools, including spell-checking, dynamic spelling, and autocorrect features. With spell-checking, you can catch and correct spelling errors in your text, ensuring accuracy in your documents. Dynamic spelling goes a step further by highlighting potential errors as you type, allowing you to make real-time corrections. Additionally, autocorrect automatically fixes common typos, saving you time and ensuring consistent and error-free text. 

• Select the dictionary from the Add To dropdown, and select Add to add a word to a dictionary.
• Select Dictionary to display the Dictionary dialog box, where you can specify the added word's target dictionary, language, and hyphenation breaks. If you want to add the word to all languages, select All Languages from the Language dropdown and select Add.
• If your document includes foreign-language text, select the text and use the Language menu on the Character panel to specify the language for that text.
• To remove autocorrect words you’ve added, select the word in the list and select Remove.
• To edit autocorrect words, select the word, select Edit, retype the correction, and select OK.
• Select Delete Repeated Word to delete repetition.
• Select Add To User Dictionary to add the word to the current dictionary without opening the Dictionary dialog.
• Select Ignore All to ignore occurrences of a word in all documents. When InDesign is restarted, the word is flagged again as a misspelling.
• If you select Ignore All and then decide that you don’t want to ignore that word after all, select Ignored Words from the Dictionary List menu in the Dictionary dialog and remove the word from the list.
• To spell-check notes, select Include Note Content When Checking Spelling in Notes preferences.
• To spell-check deleted text, select Include Deleted Text When Spellchecking in the Track Changes preferences.
