Use dynamic spelling

When dynamic spelling is enabled, you can correct spelling errors by using the context menu. Potentially misspelled words are underlined (based on the dictionary associated with the language of the text). If you type words in a different languages, select the text and assign the correct language.

  1. To enable dynamic spelling, choose Edit > Spelling > Dynamic Spelling.

    Potentially misspelled words are underlined in your document.

  2. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the underlined word, and do one of the following:

    • Select a suggested correction. If a word is repeated or needs to be capitalized, you can choose Delete Repeated Word [word] or Capitalize [word].

    • Select Add [word] To User Dictionary. This automatically adds the word to the current dictionary without opening the Dictionary dialog box. The word remains unchanged in the text.

    • Select Dictionary. This opens the Dictionary dialog box where you can select the Target dictionary and Language, change hyphenation breaks, and then click Add. The word is added to the selected dictionary and remains unchanged in the text.

    • Select Ignore All to ignore occurrences of this word in all documents. When InDesign is restarted, the word is flagged again as a misspelling.

Note: If you select Ignore All and then decide that you don’ t want to ignore that word after all, Choose Ignored Words from the Dictionary List menu in the Dictionary dialog box and remove the word from the list.
