Word spelling check

Please help on the spell check. For some reason it only checks the grammar and ignores the spelling. It works fine on other computers but not on mine. I went through proofing, selected and deselected but nothing happens. Thisis urgent as I need to hand my assignment on Monday 19th.
Thanks
Dalila

RE: Word spelling check

Hello Dalila

Thank you for your question.

The only spelling settings for Word are in the Word Options under Proofing. There are two settings to check: the 'Check spelling as you type' option (should be checked) and also 'Hide spelling errors in this document only' (should be unchecked, for the document you are working on and also for All Documents).

Settings take effect as soon as they are changed.

Kind regards
Amanda

Word tip:

Disable screen tips (yellow boxes) in Word

You may notice when working in Word that occassionally you will get little yellow boxes appearing on your screen in response to either hovering your cursor over a button, or typing particular words or numbers into your document. These are called screen tips.

If you find the screen tips distracting, you can disable them by:

1. Going to Tools - Options.

2. Selecting the View tab.

3. Removing the tick to the 'ScreenTips' check box under the 'Show' section.

4. Clicking OK.
