Let's imagine you have just finished typing Version 2 of the Swaggies letter. It is now time to correct the spelling and grammar.

Make sure the Word program is set for English (Australia). Go to Tools => Language => Set Language

With Microsoft Word there are 3 ways to correct spelling and grammar:

  1. Click on spelling icon

  2. Go to Tools => Spelling and Grammar

    • select the alternative you want and click change. This will put the correct spelling / grammar into your document.

    • if you do not want to make a change click ignore

    • if the program cannot offer a suggestion, delete the incorrect words, type in what you want, click change

    • when all corrections have been done, the program will tell you

  3. Right click on the word (red or green underline) - a box will appear offering suggestions on the correct spelling or grammar

    • select the alternative that you want by clicking on the word, phrase or sentence. Your selection will be replaced in the document

    • if you do not want to make a change, click Ignore
