<para

>Replacement:</guilabel
>. To accept this replacement, click on <guibutton
>Replace</guibutton
>. You may also select a word from the list of <guilabel
>Suggestions</guilabel
> and then click <guibutton
>Replace</guibutton
> to replace the misspelled word with the selected word.</para>

<para

>Ignore All</guibutton

<para
>Clicking on <guibutton
>Add</guibutton

<para

>'a</literal
> for an accented <literal
>a</literal

>US-ASCII</guilabel
> is selected. Please see your dictionary's distribution for more information.</para>
