WORKING WITH NOTES® DOCUMENTS


Using instant spell check
Instant Spell Check flags misspelled words with wavy red underlines as you work. By default, this feature is on (enabled). You can disable it so that each time you start IBM® Lotus Notes®, it is off unless you want to use it for the duration of the current session.

Note: The following procedure changes the default setting to off, so that each time you start Notes®, spell checking is off. To turn spell checking on or off just for the duration of the current session, select or deselect Tools > Instant Spell Check on the main menu.

1. In a new document or an existing document in Edit mode, click Tools > Instant Spell Check.

2. Right-click on words with the wavy red underline to replace the word with a suggested spelling or add the word to your user dictionary.

Note: You can use instant spell check on the text you are entering in Notes-style text fields (including Rich Text and Rich Text Lite fields), if the application designer has enabled in-line spell check for that field. To check spelling in a Notes text field, locate the cursor in the field, and then click Tools > Instant Spell Check. Repeat this action each time you move to a new text field. Instant spell check for Notes text fields does not remain on permanently for all fields.
