> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

The Editor comes with a spelling checker. You can check your spelling in two ways:

- [Check the text that you already typed](#using-the-spelling-checker-to-check-an-already-typed-text)
- [Check for mistakes as you type](#using-the-spelling-checker-to-check-text-as-you-type)

Note that the spelling checker is available in the [full editor toolbar](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/managing-website-content/configuring-the-environment-for-content-editors/configuring-the-editor/personalizing-the-editor-toolbars-and-buttons.md).

### Using the spelling checker to check an already typed text

1. Click in the text area that you want to spell check.
2. Use the spelling checker icon in the editor toolbar and click **Check Spelling**. A **Spell Check** dialog appears.

> **Warning:** **Adding links to underlined words**

If you want to add a link to an underlined word, you need to right-click the word and select **Ignore** before you highlight the word and add the link.
