 Collins Dictionary and Thesarus.

 Choose "Spell Check" (Tools menu) to check
 the spelling of the entire document from the
 position of the insertion point, against the
 English Collins dictionary.

 To spell check a word, first select it and
 then choose "Spell Check" (Tools menu).

 You can add a word to the User Dictionary by
 clicking Learn from the "Spell Check" requester.

 You can also add your own words, delete or edit
 words in your User Dictionary, which
 supplements the Collins Dictionary, by
 choosing Spell from the @{" Change Settings " Link "Custom.guide/Main"}
 command (Settings menu).

 NOTE: "Spell Check" only checks the words in the
       current text frame.
@EndNode

@Node "AutoCorrect" "Typing And Editing"
 @{U}Using Auto Correct@{UU}

 Choose "Auto Correct" (Tools menu) to
 automatically replace commonly misspelt words.

 You can then edit the words from the list. For
 example, you may commonly misspell the word `the'
 by transposing the two first letters, `hte'. This
 mistake will be deleted by Wordworth as you type
 and corrected automatically.

 To turn on "Auto Correct", select the "Auto Correct
 as You Type" option.

 This command can also be used for abbreviations.
 For example, if you typed @{I}`Digita International
 Limited'@{UI} in your document many times, it would
 be easier to add the words to the Auto Correct
 list for @{I}`di'@{UI} to be replaced with @{I}`Digita
 International Limited'@{UI}.

 Additionally, Auto Correct can be used to
 automatically correct the capitalisation of the
 days of the week, and months of a year.
