Checking Spelling and Grammar
While typing a document in Writer, spelling mistakes are bound to occur which lead to an error prone document.
To handle this problem, Writer provides a spell check tool which automatically checks the words typed in the
document and marks the misspelt words with the help of its built-in dictionary.

Correcting Spelling Errors
Misspelt words in a Writer document can be checked and corrected using its dictionary while typing the
document. By default, Writer automatically checks your document for spelling and grammar errors, so you may
not even need to run a separate check.

v The red line indicates a misspelled word.
v The blue line indicates a grammatical error, including misused words.
To correct the misspelt words marked with red wavy line:
Step 1: Right-click on the coloured wavy line word. A pop-up menu will appear showing the suggested
corrections.
Step 2: Select the correct spelling from the list. The incorrect word gets replaced with the selected word.

Using Spelling and Grammar Dialog Box
A document may contain spelling errors which are not corrected automatically. To correct these errors in your
document, you can use Spelling and Grammar feature. Using this feature, the entire document can be checked
and corrected with the help of suggestions available from the built-in dictionary.
To make spelling corrections in the whole document:
Step 1: Click on Spelling option in the Tools menu.
