Spellchecking

The iPad's virtual keyboard offers a limited form of spellchecking that flags possibly misspelled words with a red underline. You must first tap a possibly misspelled word, and then the virtual keyboard displays a list of possible correct spellings.

To see how to spellcheck text, follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Notes. The Notes screen appears.

  2. Type Helllo. (Make sure you deliberately misspell the word by typing three ls.) The misspelled word appears with a dotted line underneath to identify it as a possible misspelling, as shown in Figure 5-9.

    Possible misspelled words appear with a dotted underline.

  3. Tap the word. A menu appears, listing possible correct spellings, as shown in Figure 5-10.

  4. Tap the correct spelling, and your iPad replaces your word.

Note

If you tap a word twice to select it, a Cut, Copy, Paste, Replace menu appears. If you tap Replace, you can select a list of alternate words to replace your currently selected word.

A menu lists possible correct spellings for your misspelled word.
