Spelling and Grammar Check

While reviewing the document, Nick notices that several words are underlined in red or green.

One of the best things about working with MS Word is that it can easily correct spelling and give you a list of options of the correct word. For example, type the word river as iver, it will be underlined in red. To correct the spelling,

1. Position the cursor over iver.
2. Right-click. A small box will appear, with word suggestions such as liver, river, ever, over.
3. Click on river.

5. If you want to correct the word, choose one of the suggested spellings in the Suggestions box and click Change.
6. Click Change All to correct all occurrences of that particular word in the document.
7. If the correct spelling is not suggested, enter the correct spelling in the Not In Dictionary box and click the Change button.
8. If the word is spelled correctly and will appear in many documents you type (such as your name), click the Add button to add the word to the dictionary so it will no longer appear as a misspelled word.
