Is there a less cumbersome way to do a spelling check?

[Philosoraptor - Jeff H]

I've got a million things lighting up as spelling errors in my preflight, most of which are proper names or game terminology I want to add to a custom dictionary, or as it's phrased in Affinity Publisher, that I want Affinity to learn. But I can't find a way to do a spelling check like most other applications have (Word, Indesign, many others) where it automatically steps you though. The "Check Spelling" option highlights the errors, but doesn't open up a dialogue like that; I still have to right-click and choose "Learn spelling" on each individual error. This is incredibly cumbersome. Is there some option I've overlooked to have Affinity step through the "errors" in the semi-automated fashion found in almost all other office and publishing programs, where I can just click a "learn" button and move on to the next error?

The list in the preflight is of minimal help. If I triple-click (not double, for some reason) on an "error" it will take me to that error and highlight it, which I guess is better than nothing, but there doesn't seem to be any other interactivity to it at all.

Have you tried...

Text > Spelling > Show Spelling Options

Okay, yes, that works. Thanks!

I find that a lot of options in Affinity are misleadingly named, and this is a good example. You'd think the option to do a spelling check (as understood in most other programs) would be the one labeled "Check Spelling", and that "Show Spelling Options" would take you to some sort of spelling preferences.

On my Mac, it opens the Spelling Options window, with choices like these:

Since they are options I think that item name is OK.
