How to Use the Spell Check Feature in MS Word?


In MS Word, one gets the facility to check the spelling and grammar as the text is typed by the user. Error in the spelling of any word is displayed with a red wavy line under that word. Grammatical error is displayed with a green wavy line under the wrong word/words. In MS Word 2007, one can use the Review tab's 'Spelling & Grammar' button for initiating a spell and grammar check of the document.
