Spell Checking

Text fields such as note titles and the note body are checked for spelling as you type. Misspelled words are underlined with a red squiggle directly in the field, similar to a word processor.

Correcting a Word

To correct a flagged word:

1. Right-click the underlined word.
2. Choose one of the suggested spellings from the menu to replace it, or choose Add to Dictionary to keep the word as-is and stop it being flagged in the future.

If no suggestions are available, the menu shows (no suggestions) instead. Right-clicking a word that isn't misspelled opens the same menu without the spelling suggestions.

Editing Commands

The same right-click menu also has standard text-editing commands, below the spelling suggestions: Undo, Redo, then Cut, Copy, Paste, Paste Unformatted, Delete, and Select All. Cut/Copy/Delete need a selection first, and Paste/Paste Unformatted need something on the clipboard — each is grayed out otherwise.

Paste Unformatted inserts the clipboard's plain text at the cursor, stripping out any fonts, colors, or other formatting it carried — useful when pasting from a web page or another document into a note without carrying its styling along.

Checking an Entire Field

For a full pass over everything you've written, use Check Spelling…, either from the right-click menu or from the spell-check button on the note formatting toolbar.

To run a full check:

1. Open Check Spelling…. The dialog selects the first misspelled word it finds and highlights it in the field.
2. For each flagged word, choose one of:
   • Change — replace just this occurrence with the text in the Change to field (edit it, or pick a suggestion from the list, before clicking).
   • Change All — replace every occurrence of that word in the field.
   • Ignore Once — leave this occurrence as-is and move to the next word.
   • Ignore All — stop flagging that word for the rest of the current session.
   • Add to Dictionary — accept the word permanently.
3. When no misspelled words remain, the dialog reports Spell check complete. Click Done to close it.

The Personal Dictionary

Words added via Add to Dictionary are saved to a personal word list and remembered across sessions, so a word you've accepted once will not be flagged again in any note or field. Words dismissed with Ignore Once or Ignore All are not saved this way — they will be flagged again the next time the application is started.
