the correct spelling, select the misspelled word in the Spelling window, type the
correct word, and click Change (or Correct).

If the current spelling is correct and you want to leave it as it is, click Ignore or Learn.

You can also hold down the Control key and click a misspelled word. From the pop-up

Automatically Substituting Text

Keynote can be set to recognize and replace text you don't want with text you do
want. For example, when you type “teh,” Keynote can automatically change it to “the.”

To set up automatic text substitution:

1

Choose Keynote > Preferences.

2

Click Auto-Correction and make settings as desired.

To automatically convert single and double quotation marks to smart quotes so that
opening and closing quotation marks are not identical, select “Use smart quotes.”
To make sure that the first word in a sentence begins with a capital letter, select “Fix
capitalization.”
To automatically convert the letters in “1st,” “2nd,” “3rd,” and so on into superscripts,
select “Superscript numerical suffixes.”
