Spell Checking

The path to any professional listing or email starts with ensuring that everything is spelled correctly.  The text input boxes for entering listing information and emails have real time spell checking built in.  This includes the Title, Subtitle, and Description fields in Create Items, and the HTML View tabs in the Description Editor, Email Studio and Ad Template Studio (the HTML tags will be ignored and not flagged as incorrectly spelled).  All words will be checked against an English dictionary file that is built into the program.  When a word is spelled incorrectly, it will immediately be flagged with a wavy red line underneath it.  You can correct the word from a list of suggested spellings or add the word to the dictionary.  You can also turn off spell checking completely.
