With the upgrade to D2L 8.3, the appearance of your HTML Editor (the text box you use to type discussion posts and descriptions for dropbox submissions) has changed. However, you will find all of the previous formatting options still available including the spellchecker.
The icon for the spellchecker is the ABC with a green checkmark. If you are using the basic toolbar, your spellcheck is located on the far left. If you are using the advanced toolbar, the button will be on the far right.
The new spellcheck is a toggle, meaning you can click the icon to turn spellcheck on, and click it again to turn it off. When activated, your potential misspellings will be underlined in red. Simply left-click on a word, choose an alternative from the drop-down list, or choose ignore word.
Note! You must turn the spellcheck off before adding new text or editing text.
Not only can you spellcheck in English, but you can click on the drop-down arrow next to the ABC button and choose one of 11 languages!
