COMPASS has a variety of "shortcuts" — keyboard combinations that ease program operation. In some cases, a keyboard shortcut will enable you to "undo" an action that might otherwise be impossible.
Spell checking is available throughout the program on any text area that displays a light blue background when selected. Press the F7 function key to activate spell check.
Shortcuts are listed here by program window.
