Like other text-based applications, NoteBook provides a ruler which you can use to format and align different aspects of text within a cell. Choose View → Show Ruler to make it visible. While you’re editing a cell, the ruler contains tab stops and other formatting controls, but is empty otherwise. Note that you cannot change the ruler settings on Divider and Multidex pages.

Choosing Edit → Spelling → Check Spelling As You Type sets NoteBook to underline spelling mistakes as you type. The spell checking underlines misspelled words as you type. Control-click a misspelling to see a list of corrections.
Choose Edit → Spelling → Check Spelling to search for the next misspelled word in a Notebook, or Edit → Spelling → Spelling... to reveal the Spelling panel. The Spelling panel lets you set the scope of the spell checking (the current page only or the entire Notebook).
