WORKING WITH NOTES DOCUMENTS

Using instant spell check
Instant Spell Check flags misspelled words with wavy red underlines as you work. In addition, you can use instant spell check on the text you are entering in Notes-style text fields (including Rich Text and Rich Text Lite fields), if the application designer has enabled in-line spell check for that field.

By default, instant spell check is on (enabled). You can disable it for all sessions, or leave it enabled, but turn it off while composing or editing a specific document. To use it for text fields, instant spell check must be enabled, and you must also manually initiate a spell check for each field. Use these steps to turn instant spell check off and on.
