This is a tutorial about how to quickly change your ''global'', OS-level spelling settings.  There ''are'' ways to change spell checking within individual, non-Apple programs such as Firefox and Microsoft Word, but this tutorial will not cover such methods. If you have taken steps to alter spell checking within ''individual programs'', this tutorial may produce unexpected results, or have no effect at all, within those individual programs.
This is a tutorial about how to quickly change your ''global'', OS-level spelling settings.  These changes will take effect across all Apple-made programs, like Safari and TextEdit.  They also seem to take effect within Microsoft Word 2011. However, they have no effect upon non-Apple browsers, like Opera and Firefox.


'''It is strongly recommended that you do not attempt to make changes at the program level.''' Your life will be much simpler if you stick with altering the OS X settings, instead.
For more help with changing the spell checking behaviour of other browsers, please consult:
 
*[[Help:Spell checking with Firefox]]
*[[Help:Spell checking with Opera]]
*[[Help:Spell checking with Chrome]]
 
:''Note that this wiki does not support Internet Explorer, and so offers no spell checking advise for that browserOf course, if you're on a page about spell checking with a Mac, you probably ''have'' a Mac, and thus can't use Internet Explorer, anyway.''
