Check Spelling

Opus provides a spell checker that checks the spelling in all Text and Button objects in your publication.

Note:
You can make various changes to the way the spell checker works in Opus by setting your own options for the spell checker in the Spelling tab in the Options dialog. For example, you can set the language that Opus will use to check words against and customise your own User Dictionary to include words or phrases that Opus will ignore as miss-spelt.
