Word Checker helps you if you have any doubts about the spelling or the placement of commas. But sometimes the correct words and sentences are highlighted or, conversely, mistakes and typos are missed. How do you enable and configure automatic checking in Word?
Instructions
Step 1
Open a Word document or create a new one. Copy the text there - you will need at least two or three different sentences to set up the spell checker. Save the document with a new name.
Step 2
Word by default checks your spelling and grammar as you enter text. Potential spelling errors are highlighted with a red wavy line, and grammatical errors - the same, only green. You can additionally check the spelling and grammar yourself - in the selected fragment or in the whole text at once. To do this, select the desired piece of text, then through the "Tools" menu, select the "Spelling" command.
Step 3
To turn on the automatic spell checker, select the Options line from the Tools menu, and then open the Spelling tab. Check the box - "Check grammar automatically" and "Also check spelling" or one of the two. Pay attention to other possibilities - mark the necessary ones and immediately check it on your text.
Step 4
To find out why a word or sentence is perceived as incorrect, in the Spelling dialog box, click Explain. You can change the grammar checking rules by selecting the "Options" command from the "Tools" menu, the "Spelling" tab. By clicking the "Settings" button, set the desired grammar and style parameters yourself.
Step 5
If you work on a document for a long time - save and open for further work, choose full error checking of the finished document. After full error checking, you can confirm or undo each fix.
Step 6
You can correct any mistakes right in the "Spelling" pop-up window. Correct the document as desired, and then click Resume in the Spelling window.
Step 7
Keep in mind that if, as a result of an error or typo, a word from the same set of letters that exists in the dictionary is obtained (for example, instead of "saw" you wrote "linden" or "summer" instead of "body", etc.), the program will not mark this word is wrong.
Step 8
Through the "Options" command of the "Service" menu, you can set individual rules for checking your texts. To do this, click the "Settings" button and put a checkmark in all the boxes that fit your requirements.
