# Run a spell check on an item

To check the spelling of an item, you can run the built-in spell checker. This runs through all the text fields of an item.

> [!note]
> The spell checker only checks the current item. If you have edited several items, you must open them individually and run the spell checker.

To run the spell check:

1. In the Content Editor, in the content tree, click the item you want to run the spell check on.
2. In the ribbon, click the **Review** tab and, in the **Proofing** group, click **Spelling**.
3. In the **Spell Check** dialog box, go through all the suggestions for change. Use the action buttons on the right side of the dialog to ignore or implement the suggestions.
