Spell checking.

To check the spelling of an AbiWord file, tap the Spell button on the Standard Toolbar or select Spelling from the Tools menu (to check the spelling of a single word or phrase, highlight it first). Spell will display any words that are not found in the Spell dictionary, or included in the Personal dictionary (if applicable). You can then:

• correct the unrecognised word. Type in the correct spelling, or choose from the list of suggested alternatives.
• ignore the word and leave it unchanged in the AbiWord file, or ignore all instances of the word in the file.
