Spell-checking

The Presentation Editor allows you to check the spelling of your text in a certain language and correct mistakes while editing. In the desktop version, it's also possible to add words into a custom dictionary which is common for all three editors.

Starting from version 6.3, the ONLYOFFICE editors support the SharedWorker interface for smoother operation without significant memory consumption. If your browser does not support SharedWorker then just Worker will be active. For more information about SharedWorker please refer to this article.

First of all, choose a language for your presentation. Click the icon on the right side of the status bar. In the opened window, select the necessary language and click OK. The selected language will be applied to the whole presentation.

To choose a different language for any piece of text within the presentation, select the necessary text passage with the mouse and use the menu on the status bar.

To enable the spell checking option, you can:

• click the
  Spell checking icon at the status bar, or
• open the File tab of the top toolbar, select the Advanced Settings option, check the Turn on spell checking option box and click the Apply button.

Incorrectly spelled words will be underlined with a red line.

Right click on the necessary word to activate the menu and:

• choose one of the suggested similar words spelled correctly to replace the misspelled word with the suggested one. If too many variants are found, the More variants... option appears in the menu;
• use the Ignore option to skip just that word and remove underlining or Ignore All to skip all the identical words repeated in the text;
• if the current word is missed in the dictionary, you can add it to the custom dictionary. This word will not be treated as a mistake next time. This option is available in the desktop version.
• select a different language for this word.

To disable the spell checking option, you can:

• click the
  Spell checking icon on the status bar, or
• open the File tab of the top toolbar, select the Advanced Settings option, uncheck the Turn on spell checking option box and click the Apply button.
