Install a program for correct spelling of letters. Troubleshoot spelling and grammar checking in different languages

When you check spelling, Word looks through the text of the document (or the selected area) and compares all words with words contained in several built-in dictionaries. If the document text contains a word that is not in the dictionaries, Word marks it as containing a spelling error. Often, specific terms, people's names, geographical names, etc. fall under such words. If desired, such words can be included in the dictionary, and Word will “remember” them and will not mark them as erroneous in the future.

There is also a flip side to the coin. Word skips words that are spelled correctly but are used incorrectly in context. For example, "income deposit", instead of "income tax".

The spell check feature identifies and marks identical words in a document that follow one another.

Grammar checker

This function checks the text for compliance with grammatical and stylistic rules. Checking grammar rules reveals errors such as incorrect use of prepositions, agreement of words in a sentence, etc.

Checking stylistics allows you to identify rarely used, colloquial words and expressions in a document.

By and large, you should not completely rely on the program’s ability to eliminate errors, but, if possible, check it yourself after typing the document.

Automatic spell check

As you type, Word highlights words containing spelling errors with a red wavy line and grammatical and stylistic errors with a green line.

To correct a spelling error, right-click on the underlined word. In this case, a context menu will be displayed on the screen.

You can select the correct spelling from the suggested spellings, or open the Spelling..., AutoCorrect, or Language dialog box for additional options for those functions.

The "Not in dictionary" field displays a text fragment containing a misspelled word, and the "Options" field displays a list of replacement options. You can edit the error directly in the “Not in the dictionary” field or select one of the suggested replacement options. After Word finishes processing the current error, it resumes searching for and displaying the next error.

The Ignore All button is used to skip the current error and all subsequent occurrences of it. The "Replace" button allows you to replace the error with the selected replacement option or accept corrections made in the "Not in dictionary" field.

The "Replace All" button allows you to replace all occurrences of the erroneous word with the selected replacement option. If the Grammar check box is cleared, Word does not check the text for grammatical errors. This allows you to focus solely on spell checking.

The Options button provides access to spell checking options.

The Revert button undoes the last correction you made.

When a grammatical or stylistic error is detected in the text of a document, Word displays the following window in the "Grammar..." dialog box.

The "Options" field displays a description of the fragment containing a grammatical error.

As with correcting spelling errors, when checking grammar, you can edit the text directly in the field with the erroneous fragment or use one of the replacement options.

    The "Skip All" button is used to skip all similar errors found in the text.

    The "Next" button allows you to skip the current error and move on to the next problematic fragment.

Inscription In a Word document, you can think of it as a container that houses subdocuments. You can perform joint operations on all objects located in such a container: deleting, moving, copying, etc.

To create a caption in a Word document, use the Caption command on the Insert menu.

The position of an inscription in the document can be adjusted by selecting it and selecting the Inscription Format option in the context menu called up at the inscription's border. The dialog box that appears contains several tabs with which you can change the size, position of the inscription relative to the text, color design of the inscription, etc.

Word document pages may contain headers and footers- areas located at the top and bottom of each page and containing certain text. The simplest header and footer consists of a page number. However, it may also include any information that appears at the top or bottom of the page. Headers and footers are created using the Header and Footers command on the View menu.

When you execute this command, the Header and Footer toolbar is displayed on the screen, the buttons of which allow you to create and edit header and footer.

The header and footer areas are usually located from the left to the right margin of the page horizontally, and their vertical position is determined by the size of the top and bottom margins and the distance from the edge of the page to the footer, set in the Page Setup dialog box. If the data inserted into the header and footer requires more space, Word increases the size of the corresponding page margin to expand the area of ​​the header and footer. In this case, the footer elements do not overlap the main text. However, part of the header and footer can be positioned outside the header and footer area. The following techniques are used for this:

    To change the position of the top or bottom border of the footer, drag the handle on the vertical ruler. You can also adjust the position of the header and footer area on the Margins tab of the Page Setup dialog box;

    To move header text to the left or right of the margins, set one or more header paragraphs to a negative left or right indent value. To do this, use a horizontal ruler or the Paragraph dialog box;

    The header and footer text can be partially or completely inserted into the Word caption and dragged anywhere on the page. Despite this, the resulting frame continues to remain part of the header and footer, so it can only be changed by executing the Header and Footer command in the View menu.

Typically, the same header and footer appears on each page of a document. However, there are several ways to achieve different headers and footers in your document. First of all, you can create a different footer for the first page of a document or section. You can set different headers and footers for even and odd pages of a document. These actions are specified by checking the appropriate boxes on the Layout tab of the Page Options dialog box on the File menu. It should be noted that the difference between the first page header and footer is set for a particular section of the document, but the difference between even and odd page header and footer is set for the entire document. Finally, if a document is divided into sections, their headers and footers may have different content. Initially, the headers and footers of each subsequent section are connected to the headers and footers of the previous section, i.e. they look exactly the same.

You can add a table of contents to a Word document that lists all the headings and the page numbers they are on. To create a table of contents, follow these steps:

    Make sure that each heading included in the table of contents is assigned a style. The easiest way is to use the built-in styles Heading 1 - Heading 9,

    place the cursor at the place in the document where the table of contents will be inserted;

    execute the command Table of Contents and Indicators of the Insert menu;

    select the Table of Contents tab;

    If you want to use others instead of the built-in heading styles, click the Options button to open the Table of Contents Options dialog box. In this window, you can select the styles to include in the table of contents and associate specific levels in the table of contents with them;

    To change the appearance of the table of contents, select the parameter values ​​until the approximate appearance of the table of contents in the Sample field matches the desired one. You can set the table of contents format, page number alignment, number of levels, and placeholder characters.

You can also allow or disable the display of page numbers.

Specific places in a document can be marked for quick return to them later. To mark any place in a document, you need to create a bookmark. A bookmark is created using the Bookmark command of the Insert menu. In the command dialog box, enter the name of the bookmark to be created. This method can be used to mark any number of places in a document. Bookmarks can be made visible by executing the Options command on the Tools menu and selecting the Bookmarks checkbox on the View tab.

To quickly move the cursor to the place marked with a bookmark, you should execute the Bookmark command of the Insert menu or press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+F5, in the Bookmark dialog box that opens, select its name assigned when marking the text, and click the Bookmark button. Word moves the cursor to the marked position. Executing the Goto command from the Edit menu will produce a similar result. In the command dialog box, select Bookmark from the Transition Target list.

MS Office package. Text editor Word. Functions for searching and replacing characters. Search and replace special characters (non-printable). Autocorrect as you type. Custom settings for auto-correction of entered characters.

When creating new documents, special templates can also be used - wizards, which provide customization of the created documents in the process of dialogue with the user. In the Word word processor, there are three ways to quickly insert frequently used text or graphic information into a document, based on the use AutoText, AutoCorrect And.

Using the AutoCorrect command of the Tools menu, previously created elements (text fragments, pictures, tables, etc.) can be automatically inserted into the document many times. This command can also decipher abbreviations and automatically correct the most common typos. In the command dialog box you can:

    create, apply, delete an autocorrect element;

    use autocorrect while typing;

    make general text conversion settings using the appropriate checkboxes at the top of the dialog box.

Using the command Autotext Insert menu (or AutoText tab in the command dialog box AutoCorrect Tools menu), previously created elements (text fragments, pictures, tables, etc.) can be repeatedly inserted into the document at the user’s command. You can use the command dialog box to create and delete AutoText items.

Money box is a tool for accumulating and combining various blocks of information from different parts of documents and inserting them into the document as a single whole. The piggy bank is created based on autotext. The selected fragment of the document is transferred to the piggy bank by pressing the key combination Ctrl+F3. A similar action can be performed on one or more documents opened in different windows. You can view the contents of the piggy bank using the AutoText command in the Insert menu by selecting Piggy Bank in the list of names. To insert the contents of a piggy bank, enter the word piggy bank into the text and press the key combination Ctrl+Shift+F3 to transfer the contents of the piggy bank or the F3 key to copy the contents.

The text of a Word document can be checked for correct spelling in several dozen languages. The list of languages ​​is set by the Language command in the Tools menu. It is possible to check texts for spelling and grammatical errors. Spell checking can be done directly as you enter text or in previously entered texts. To automatically check spelling as you enter text, configure the Spelling tab of the Tools menu Options dialog box. Spell checking in a selected fragment of previously entered text is performed by the Spelling command of the Tools menu or by clicking on the corresponding button on the toolbar.

When checking spelling, Word highlights a possible spelling error with a red wavy line, and a possible grammatical error with a green wavy line.

The main work is done in the Spelling command dialog box using buttons. The user can skip a word, replace it with one of the words contained in the Suggestions field, add the word to the user dictionary, add it to the AutoCorrect list to automatically correct errors, etc.

Configuring spelling check options (checking the required checkboxes in the dialog box called up by clicking the Options button in the Spelling window and clicking the Settings button) allows you to achieve the optimal balance between rigor and speed of checking.

During the editing process, sometimes you need to search for text. Searching for text is often done to replace it. To search the text, click the link Find in document on the panel Search in the task pane or select a command Find on the menu Edit or click the keys Ctrl+F. In field Find enter the search text and click the button Find next" After this the search will be performed. To interrupt the search, press the key Esc.

Note. To display more search options in the window, click the More button. After this, the search window will display fields in which you can set the search direction, enable case sensitivity, and set the format. By clicking the Special button, you can search for special characters. If you do not need to specify additional parameters to describe the search image, then click the “Smaller” button to reduce the window to hide unnecessary fields.

To replace text, select from the menu Edit team Replace. In field Find enter the search text, and in the field Replace Pa enter the text to replace. Click the button Find next" If this text is found, the search will be stopped and the searched text will be highlighted in bold. Click the button Replace» to replace text. If you want to replace all occurrences of the search text, then click the " Replace all».

When writing an article, the Word text editor underlines words, thereby indicating grammatical or punctuation errors. If a word is misspelled and already exists in the program dictionary, the word will be replaced (if autocorrect is enabled). There are cases when you need to check spelling in Word, but autocorrect is not turned on and the program does not underline words with mistakes at all. In this case, let's look at how to check a document for errors in words and punctuation.

Setting up automatic text checking

To automatically highlight places with spelling and grammatical errors, you need to:

  1. Go to the “File” tab and click on “Options”;
  2. In the left panel of the new window, select “Spelling”;
  3. In the “When correcting Word spelling” area, check the boxes “Check spelling as you type,” “Use... spell checker,” or “Mark grammar errors...”;
  4. You can check all the boxes in this subsection, since all of the listed variations will help in working with text.

Attention! If Word has stopped highlighting errors with a red line, then you must uncheck the boxes in the “Exceptions for file” subsection. Go to “File” - “Options” - “Spelling” and finally “Exception for file”. Uncheck the lines “Hide spelling and grammar... in this document.”

After this setting, the document will highlight not only spelling errors, but also punctuation errors.

How to enable automatic error checking

Thanks to this function, you can easily fix all errors at once. You can turn on “Check spelling and grammar in the text” using the F7 button or go to the “Review” tab - in the “Spelling” section - click on “Spelling”.

A new window will open and the first error made will pop up. You can correct it directly in the “Not in the dictionary” area, or specify the desired form in the “Options” section and click replace.

Attention! MS Word does not automatically correct punctuation marks. Therefore, if you see a green or blue wavy line throughout the text, you will need to make changes yourself, that is, manually. Moreover, the program gives hints after which word is missing a comma.

Next, a new window will pop up with a new error and this will continue until all errors are corrected. After all the changes, a window will pop up notifying you that the spell check is complete, click on “Ok”.

Word will then provide readability statistics. We hide this notification by clicking on “Ok”.

Manual error checking

A red underline means that the word is likely misspelled or the phrase is unfamiliar to Word and is not included in the dictionary. You can easily correct errors manually, as follows:

1) Right-click on the highlighted word and select the correct option in the window that opens.

2) Add a new word for Word to the program dictionary. Right-click on the incorrect word and select “Add to Dictionary” and the underline will disappear. If you continue to use this word, the underline will not appear.

3) Find the book with a cross at the bottom of the Word program (if there are errors) and click.

The correct spelling options will appear, you need to indicate the correctly spelled word.

How to set up Auto-Correction

The “auto-correct word” function is very useful, since when typing quickly, there are misspellings in words. This function will help you correct an incorrectly written phrase automatically; to do this, you need to make the following settings:

1) By clicking on the “File” section, select “Options”;

2) In the pop-up window on the left side, find “Spelling”, in the “AutoCorrect Options” section, click on the “AutoCorrect Options...” button;

3) In the “AutoCorrect” section, check the box next to “Replace as you type”;

4) Add a phrase that is often printed incorrectly. For example: “assistant” enter under the “replace” field as an incorrect option, and under the “to” field indicate the correct word form and click on “Add”. As shown in the picture below.

You can add any phrase and indicate its correct spelling. It can also be an abbreviation of everyday phrases, an abbreviation, or the name of a hotkey in English. Here are examples:

How to change a phrase in the AutoCorrect list

You need to scroll through the entire list and find the phrase you need, highlight it so that it appears in the “replace” field and in the “to” field.

Now all that remains is to place the mouse cursor in the desired field and enter your own spelling of a symbol or phrase, replace and save. Let's look at an example. To quickly write a character(s) in the form of “@”, you first need to add and indicate which character will be replaced.

The actions are standard, as before when adding a new phrase. “File” - “Options” - “Spelling” - “AutoCorrect Options”. In the section where “AutoCorrect”, under the “replace” field, enter “(a)”, and in the “to” field, write “@”. Add and click “OK”.

Now is the time to check. We print the desired fragment of the article and write “(a)” (in the picture below), replacing it with “@” occurs after pressing the “)” final character.

Working with Word will become much easier if you make all the settings for autocorrecting different phrases. Just imagine that you can type (Moscow State University) in one second by just writing three letters “mgu”. Thanks to certain options, the user will be able to automatically check for correct punctuation, very quickly, considering that viewing a document of 10 A4 sheets manually will take a long time. In this case, we are talking about using the “Spelling” option in the “Reviewing” section.

Continuing the topic of effectively working with Word 2007, I would like to dwell on spelling and spelling checking for a product from Microsoft - “Word”, released in 2007. I would like to remind you that in the previous article we discussed the topic: .

Entering and checking spelling of text

If all the necessary styles have already been developed and saved in the template, then entering text is reduced to simply typing on the keyboard or transferring fragments from other documents.

When transferring fragments from other documents, the text may “come” with its own styles. Other styles have nothing to do in your document. From time to time, look through the list of open styles and if you find something new there that came from nowhere, delete it with the command: Home > Styles > Select the required one (having previously selected the text needed to change). Click on the picture to enlarge.

After changing the style, check which style the new text has accepted and, if necessary, apply a different one; if everything suits you, save it.

The main thing to focus on when entering text is when spell checking in Word 2007, - this is on structure and spelling. Check the structure by viewing the document in structure display mode.

Use the built-in spell checkers to check spelling. During the check, words with spelling errors are underlined with a red wavy line, and text fragments with incorrect grammar are underlined with a green line. To understand what the error is, right-click on the underlined text and use the context menu. In the figure below you can see that there is no sign after the decimal point - a space.

If the spelling checkers do not work, check the Automatically check spelling and Automatically check grammar checkboxes on the Spelling tab in the Options dialog box, to do this, right-click on the underlined text and use the context menu, then click Spelling, as shown in the figure below.

And finally, by clicking on - options, We get to the menu we need, where we put the necessary checkboxes.

It was the case in earlier versions of Word that spell checkers were not installed with the program. Then the program had to be rearranged and be sure not to forget about these components. These issues have been corrected in Word 2007.

I think that this article will help not only students, but also bloggers (webmasters), since it helps them write competent texts without errors, thereby allowing them to establish themselves as an educated person among their readers.

Text, click the familiar “Spelling” button, and in the window that appears, click the “Options” button. Next, in the settings window that opens, check the box next to “Automatically check spelling.” By clicking "OK" automatic verification spelling will be enabled.

If the Word text editor does not highlight grammatical and spelling errors when entering text, it means that the automatic spell check feature is disabled in the settings. In the 2003 and Office 2007 packages, the settings will be performed differently.

Instructions

If you are using the 2003 Microsoft office suite, open the Tools menu and select Options. Click "Spelling" and check the boxes next to the following items: "Automatically check" and "Automatically check grammar."

When choosing the last option, click in the context menu one of the spelling options that the program offers, or click “Skip”, and Word stops highlighting this word.

In addition to Word itself, you can also use special spell checking programs. They work extremely simply, you need to enter a word or text in a special window, and the program will underline the words that contain , and also suggest the correct spelling.

Checking Word helps if you have doubts about spelling or comma placement. But sometimes the correct words and sentences are highlighted or, conversely, errors and typos are missed. How to enable and configure automatic check in Word?

Using such a powerful word processor, it is foolish to turn to a dictionary to correctly spell controversial words and phrases. Let Word do this thankless job!
