It is an ASCII file containing one word per line (case-insensitive).

You can choose to spell check existing single and multiline text entities in the current drawing or layout, in all drawings/layouts or in the current selection set.

You can also spell check input of new single or multiline text entities (including legacy text input), arc-aligned text entities or attribute definitions.
