Check the spelling for an entire map

You can use the Spell Checker feature to view all possible spelling mistakes for objects within a map.

About this task

A map may contain a number of potential errors and the results appear in the Spell Checker Results page. See Using Spell Checker.
Note: The list includes each possible spelling error, its type, the object that contains it, and its textual context. If required, you can select and copy the error code for pasting into an alternate document, such as an email or spreadsheet.

To check the spelling for an entire map:
