I am using Time Slips 2010.  During spell check, quite often a word is misspelled (for instance, a name) but the correct spelling does not show up in my list of options.  Is there a way to correct the spelling at that point?   So far I've had to choose "ignore" and make a note so that I can go back and correct it when spell check is completed, which does not seem very efficient to me.

Further details to add to Nancy's posting...

(I'm using TS2009, so it may be different for you.)

Where she says you can "manually change the word here" -- where the word appears in the text box to the right of "Not in Dictionary" -- just put your cursor in there and change the spelling of the word, then click on the "Change" button.  This will do two things:

• change the word on the slip, and
• if the word is still not in the dictionary, you can now click on the "Add" button to have it added to your dictionary.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help - it works!   I was missing the step of hitting the change button.

Thanks for your help!
