About this course

Spell check is the minimum editing aid for our work at TeamTom, but Grammarly takes the grammar a little more seriously. 

Grammarly

Grammarly catches more misspellings and grammar errors/confusions. [It just caught four of mine in the previous sentence.]

Spell Check

Chrome

E nable Chrome's  Native  Spell - Checker . To  enable  or  disable spell - checking , click the  Chrome  menu button in the top right on the browser toolbar. Select Settings and at the bottom click Show advanced settings.

Office Applications

Most Office programs automatically check for potential spelling and grammatical errors as you type, so you don't need to do anything to show errors while you work. However, if you’d rather wait to check spelling and grammar until you're done writing, you can  turn off the automatic spelling and grammar checker .

Notes: 

  • Automatic spelling and grammar checking is not available in Access, Excel, or Project.

  • Automatic grammar checking is available only in Outlook, Word, PowerPoint 2013, and PowerPoint 2016.

Office marks potential spelling errors with a red squiggly line:

Spelling error marked with a red squiggly line

Potential grammatical errors are marked with a blue squiggly line:

Possible grammatical error indicated by blud squiggly line

If spelling or grammatical errors aren't marked, automatic checking might be turned off. You can  turn on the automatic spelling and grammar checker .

When you see a spelling or grammatical error, right-click or press and hold the word or phrase and choose one of the options to fix the error.
