Spell-checking

The Document Editor allows you to check the spelling of your text in a certain language and correct mistakes while editing. In the desktop version, it's also possible to add words into a custom dictionary, which is used for all three editors.

Starting from version 6.3, the ONLYOFFICE editors support the SharedWorker interface for smoother operation without significant memory consumption. If your browser does not support SharedWorker then just Worker will be active. For more information about SharedWorker please refer to this article.

First, choose a language for your document. Click the Set Document Language icon on the status bar. In the opened window, select the required language and click OK. The selected language will be applied to the whole document. It will later be displayed as a recently used language and become available for quick access in the same menu. In the desktop version, the languages installed with your operation system appear at the top of the spell checker language list.
