Para cambiar el "spell check" a español

To spell check your text in Spanish you have 2 options:
1) Before you start typing, go to tools, scroll down to language and select “Spanish.” If there are several options, select something like “modern” or “contemporary” Spanish.
2) If you already have written your text in Spanish, highlight all of it, go to tools, scroll down to language and select “Spanish.”


The first approach is probably better because the spell check will automatically fix certain mistakes.

Once you are done with your writing assignment, make sure that nothing is underlined in red. Of course, such things as proper names will be underlined, so you shouldn’t worry about that. Anything else you should check in the dictionary.
