Learned Words

Spell checker engines rely on dictionaries to decide if a word is spelled correctly. To instruct the spell checker engine that an unknown word is actually correctly spelled, you need to add that word to a list of learned words. There are two ways to do this:

  • Invoke the contextual menu on an unknown word, then select Learn word.
  • Press the Learn button from the Spelling dialog box that is invoked by using the Check Spelling action on the toolbar.

Note

To delete items from the list of learned words, use the Delete learned words option in the EditorSpell CheckDictionaries preferences page.
