6. Click Change or Change All when you want to apply a correction.
7. Click Ignore or Ignore All if you do not want to change the current word.
8. Click Add to Dictionary if the word should be kept for future checks.
9. Click Options in the lower-left area to adjust settings such as ignoring uppercase words, ignoring words with numbers, or always showing suggestions.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The spell check dialog opens and shows the current flagged word and suggestions.
• Next action available: You can use Change, Ignore, Change All, Ignore All, and Add to Dictionary.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If the presentation window is not active, the shortcut may not run spell check for the current file.
• Environment note: Spell check works on editable text in the presentation. Text inside images is not checked as normal slide text.

1. Click the File tab.
2. Select Options.
3. Open Spell Check in the left panel.
4. Click Custom Dictionary.
5. In the dialog box, choose the action you need, such as editing an existing dictionary, creating a new one, adding an existing dictionary file, deleting a dictionary, or changing the default setting.
6. Save the settings, return to the presentation, and run Spell Check again to confirm that the dictionary is applied.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The custom dictionary dialog opens and shows dictionary management controls.
• Next action available: You can add, edit, delete, or switch the default dictionary.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you add a term but do not run Spell Check again, the updated result may not appear immediately.
• Environment note: A custom dictionary is useful for recurring terms, product names, and abbreviations that should not be flagged repeatedly.
