Using and configuring Google Docs Spell Checker

The online text editor Google Docs has a complete spell-checker, including support for the Portuguese language of Brazil. Like Microsoft's Word, the software highlights the misspelled words throughout the text. The terms marked can then be analyzed individually.

However, you can use the tool more efficiently: you can, for example, ignore the spelling of a word throughout the document or add terms to the dictionary. This will stop the service from suggesting corrections for a word that is already correct, such as names and brands. Here's how to set up and use the text correction tool on your computer.
