13.4 Checking and Correcting Spelling ===================================== `M-$' Check and correct spelling of word (`spell-word'). `M-x spell-buffer' Check and correct spelling of each word in the buffer. `M-x spell-region' Check and correct spelling of each word in the region. `M-x spell-string' Check spelling of specified word. To check the spelling of the word before point, and optionally correct it, use the command `M-$' (`spell-word'). This command runs an inferior process containing the `spell' program to see whether the word is correct English. If it is not, it asks you to edit the word (in the minibuffer) into a corrected spelling, and then performs a `query-replace' to substitute the corrected spelling for the old one throughout the buffer. If you exit the minibuffer without altering the original spelling, it means you do not want to do anything to that word. In that case, the `query-replace' is not done. `M-x spell-buffer' checks each word in the buffer the same way that `spell-word' does, doing a `query-replace' for every incorrect word if appropriate. `M-x spell-region' is similar to `spell-buffer' but operates only on the region, not the entire buffer. `M-x spell-string' reads a string as an argument and checks whether that is a correctly spelled English word. It prints a message giving the answer in the echo area. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9
