In this edit field, you may type replacements to the supposedly misspelled words. To change this field, simply click on a word suggestion in the suggestions list, or edit the field itself.

Start Button
This button is used to restart a spell check session from the current cursor position of the document being checked (if the spell check window lost focus in favor of another window in the current application).

Auto-Correct Button
This button adds an auto-correction pair to the active user dictionary (specified in the configuration). This will force current and any future occurrences of the misspelled word to be replaced with the specified word.
Cancel Button
This button closes the spell check window and ends the current spell check session.
Up and Down Buttons
These buttons move the selected main dictionary up and down in the main dictionary list, in order to establish hierarchic importance to the dictionaries list. This is important for several reasons. The main dictionary that is first in the list is considered the primary dictionary. The order of dictionaries in the list is also the order which they are searched, so the most frequently used language should be first in the list.
