The Spelling dialog appears if a word requiring your attention is detected. You can use the dialog to specify whether the word should be ignored or replaced.
Guess List: If you see the correct word or spelling in the Guess list, double-click it to replace the incorrect spelling in the text. If no alternate spellings appear in the Guess list, select the misspelled word in the Spelling dialog and try a different possible spelling. Click Guess to see if new spelling options appear in the Guess list.
Ignore Button: If the current spelling is correct, and you want to leave it as it is, click Ignore. (If this is a term or name that you use often, click Learn to add it to the current dictionary.)
Guess button: If no alternate spellings appear in the Guess list, select the misspelled word in the Spelling dialog and try a different possible spelling. Click Guess to see if new spelling options appear in the Guess list.
Find Next Button: Click Find Next to locate the next misspelling.
Correct Button: If the correct word does not appear in the Guess list, but you know the correct spelling, type the correct word in the text box, and then click Correct.
Dictionary List: Use the Dictionary list to select a different language dictionary.
Forget Button: If you accidentally added a misspelled word to the dictionary, type the misspelling in the text box, and then click Forget.
Learn Button: If the highlighted word is correctly spelled and is a term or name that you use often, click Learn to add it to the current dictionary.
Even when you use a spell checker, it is wise to read through the text yourself. If you type "fine" rather than "find," it will not show up as a misspelled word because both are valid words found in the dictionary. The spell checker cannot point out misused words or words that are out of context.
This feature is primarily for text fields such as Notes and Abstract. Not all fields in EndNote are spell-checked, such as Date, Author, Volume, Issue, and so on.
