# Spell Check

MacJournal has automatic spell check on by default. To change this setting, use the Editing Preferences. When the system detects a misspelled word, it will underlined in red. To correct this, Control-Click on that word and a menu will appear. The top of the menu will list a few different suggestions for the word. Selecting any of these options will replace the word with that correction. You can undo this via the Edit menu if you like. To see a window with more options, use the Edit menu and the Spelling submenu to choose "Show Spelling". That will show up all the suggestions as well as let you have the system learn a word it thinks is wrong. You can also select language to use here (otherwise MacJournal will try to guess the language automatically).
