CHECKING SPELLING AND GRAMMAR

Word 2019 allows you to not only add and edit text in a document, but also fix
spelling and grammar mistakes. Word has in-built dictionary and grammar rules to

check for such errors in a document.
The spelling mistakes in a document are marked with wavy red lines,

grammatical mistakes with a blue double underline, and language
improvements with a dashed blue underline.

To check spellings and grammar:
1. On the Review tab, in the Proofing group, click Spelling & Grammar .

Word searches the document for errors and displays the Proofing pane on the

right side of the Work area. It displays each spelling and grammar error, and
options to correct each error.

2. For each spelling error, do one of the following:

To correct the listed error, click an option from the
Suggestions list.
To correct all occurrences of the listed error, click

the arrow beside an option and from the menu that
appears, click the Change All option.
To ignore the listed error once, click Ignore Once.

To ignore all occurrences of the listed error, click the
Ignore All option.

If the word listed as an error is correct as per your use, click the Add to Dictionary
option to add the word for future reference.
For each grammatical error, Word lists the error, provides a brief description

of the error, and provides options to correct it.
