How to Run Spell Checker
Sep 04, 2014
Hi,
I am running Windows via Parallels on a Mac. F7 doesn't work for me. Can someone please tell me how to run spell checker. I know how to get to the Spell Checker setup options. I don't need that. I need to know how to run it (i.e. invoke it).
Just a kind note to the documentation specialists, if you ever read these posts, please include the steps for accessing features via the menu items, as well as keyboard shortcuts

On the Home tab, click the "ABC" button.
As Michael said. Also, on a PC, you can press keystroke Function Key 7 - F7 (like in Microsoft Word) - or on a laptop, usually the fn key + F7.
as rebecca says on a Mac it is also fn+F7
Hey guys,
Thanks so much for the fast responses and the answers. The keyboard shortcut still didn't work for me. I suspect it is because I have an external keyboard connected to my MacBook Pro.
I did find the button though. The problem was that I didn't have a scene (second tab) opened. When this is the case, the ABC button is not available. Something tricky for new users like me. The Help tab didn't lead me to the answer. When I clicked Help > Documentation, it took me to an Articulate webpage that didn't return any results when I typed in Spell Checker.
Of course, I needed spell checker when I was in a huge hurry - it always happens that way.
Anyway, thanks for being available on the forums!
