Successfl
Hit the space bar after typing the l in successfl.
Notice that you have a red line under the word.
Right click on the misspelled word.
You will be given the correct choice of successful.
Click on Successful and notice that the word has been corrected for you.

However, always be certain that spell check is offering you the word you want. If Spell Check doesn’t know the word that you have typed and you know that it is correct, you can add it to the spell check.

Adding words to dictionary

Press Return
Type: Keil

Does the program think it is incorrect (underlined in red) or correct?

Most programs think it is a misspelling.

If it doesn't have a red underline, it's been added already
Try your own last name and add it to the dictionary if the program thinks it's misspelled.

Using Synonyms
