don't worry we all make mistakes when we
type lucky for us
words got us covered with a host of
proofing features including the spelling
and grammar tool to run a full spelling
and grammar check all you have to do is
go to review then spelling and grammar
word will cycle through every error in
your document giving you the chance to
select one of their suggestions or type
the corrections yourself click Change to
accept the correction and move on to the
next error the spelling and grammar
check isn't perfect though sometimes it
misses grammatical errors sometimes it
says something spelled wrong when it
isn't like people's names if that
happens you have a couple options for a
spelling error ignore once we'll skip
the word one time without changing it
ignore all will skip the word every time
it appears in the document and add to
dictionary will learn the word so it
never comes up as an error again just
make sure that it is spelled correctly
before you choose this option now I'd
like to close this dialog box
so we can take a look at the auto check
that's taking place you may not even
need to run a separate check because by
default word marks spelling and grammar
errors automatically using these little
wavy lines red is a spelling error Green
is a grammatical error and blue which is
turned off at first but can be turned on
is something called a contextual
spelling error so let's look at what I
did wrong I spelt the word know
correctly as in No thank you but I
should have used the word no as in now i
know my abcs to correct these spelling
and grammar errors just right-click and
choose the proper spelling or phrase
here looks like I also misspelled 14 and
use the word learn incorrectly I should
have used learned if you're curious
about changing the auto check settings
just go to the backstage view then
options
and proofing you can uncheck the boxes
here if you don't want word to
automatically check your spelling or use
contextual spelling or mark grammar
errors as you type these settings only
apply to your computer though so if you
choose to ignore any errors and then
send a document to someone else like in
an email to a potential employer they'll
still see those little wavy lines the
good news is that you can hide errors in
just this document by checking these
boxes hide spelling errors and high
grammar errors in this document only now
click OK and the errors are no longer
marked it's still a good idea to have
someone look over your work before you
send it off though just to be safe happy
