You can spell check the text of a field or record by going to Edit menu > Check Field Spelling (F7) or record spelling (Alt+F7).

The spell checker works in a similar way to those in other applications. You are presented with words not in the dictionary, and then you can choose to ignore, change, or add them to the dictionary.
