  5. Modify the misspelled word by double-clicking one of the words from the Suggestions list, or ignore the mistakes pointed out by the Spell Checker by clicking Ignore.

    Note: You can also add this word to your enterprise dictionary by selecting the dictionary from the Add Words To drop-down list and clicking Add.
