Converting Legends into Grouped Graphics

Ungrouping Graphics |
MapSpeller for ArcGIS doesn't currently spell check map legends directly.
However, users can turn legends into grouped graphics and then into
their individual graphic components. The latter can be spell
checked.
- Make a copy the project (mxd) file (for example
using File>Saving As),
- Convert all the legends from the copy into grouped graphics
by using the legends' context menu
- Ungroup all the copy's grouped graphics until they become
individual graphics
- Spell check the copy. The Potential Typos dialog would give
them a list of potential errors with suggested corrections.
- Manually make corrections to the original document. The
easiest way would be to edit the table of contents of ArcMap if
the legend is linked to to the table of contents, which is the
ArcMap default.
- Delete the copy of the mxd document once the process is over.
