# ignoredWords(inSpellDocumentWithTag:)

Returns the array of ignored words for a document identified by `tag`.

```
func ignoredWords(inSpellDocumentWithTag tag: Int) -> [String]?
```

## Discussion

Invoke this method before [`closeSpellDocument(withTag:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSSpellChecker/closeSpellDocument(withTag:)) if you want to store the ignored words.
