Highlighting spelling errors

The other thing you can do is to hold down Command and semicolon (Command-;) so it auto-repeats. This will eventually highlight all spelling errors, similar to Microsoft Word. Unfortunately, Apple has not implemented a single command shortcut to highlight all spelling errors so this is as close as you can get.

You can have OS X hi-light all errors by selecting Check Spelling as you Type. I cannot imagine why anyone would use the batch mode when the OS can just do it for you.

"Check spelling as you type" only checks text you are about to type, not text you have previously typed, text pre-filled in a form or text obtained from a file. The above hints allow existing text to be spell checked.
