3 AutoCorrect  AutoCorrect corrects capitalization, typing, spelling and grammatical errors.  For example, it changes “adn” which you typed to “and.” I actually typed “and” but it AutoCorrected to “and” when I pressed the space bar!

4 AutoCorrect  AutoCorrect works automatically. All you really have to know is the term AutoCorrect.  It works because of the default settings in Word Options. Experts sometimes want to edit one of the features of AutoCorrect. They can do that by using the Word Options.

5 AutoFormat  AutoFormat automatically formats text. For example, it changes  1/2 to ½  1st to 1 st  http://www.google.com with http://www.google.com http://www.google.com  It happens automatically as you type. The options can be set to fit the user’s needs.

6 Formatting  Formatting means to change the look of text.  Quick Styles are built-in formats for both text and paragraphs

7 AutoComplete  AutoComplete suggests the completed word when you key the first four or more letters.

8 Insert Date and Time  The Insert Date and Time function is used to add a date to your document.  Choose the format that is correct for your document.  6/19/2011 is fine for many documents  June 19, 2011 is the correct format for letters.  Update Automatically should be chosen only when you want the date to change every time you open the document.

9 Spelling Checker  Spelling and Grammar Checker is used to check the spelling and grammar of an entire document.  Red wavy line--A red wavy line indicates a spelling error.  Just right click on the word and the menu with your options will pop up.

10 Spelling  Are all the words indicated as misspelled by the spell checker actually misspelled?  Most of the words are actually misspelled but not all.  Word compares the words that you type to its dictionary.  Words that are not in the dictionary are flagged as misspelled.  Names, locations, and words from other languages could be spelled correctly but not in the dictionary and, therefore, marked as spelling errors.

11 Grammar Checker  The Grammar Checker is used to check the spelling and grammar of an entire document.  Green wavy line--A green wavy line indicates a grammar error.  A good memory aid is to remember that both grammar and green start with G.

12 Grammar Checker  Just right click on the word and the menu with your options will pop up.  You should use the Grammar Checker to help you find your grammar mistakes.  Grammar rules are much more complicated than spelling.  Usually the grammar suggestions are correct and you should accept them.  You should use good judgment and only accept the suggestion if Word is correct.

13 Thesaurus  The Thesaurus tool allows you to improve your writing using variety and interest in the wording of your documents.  You can use it to find synonyms or antonyms.  Synonyms are words that mean the same thing.  Antonyms are words that mean the opposite thing.

14 Thesaurus  Just right click on the word and select Synonyms.  To access the full Thesaurus, select Thesaurus…

15 Inserting Symbols  The Symbol option should be used to add characters and symbols not found on the keyboard.    ©  ®  ™  Ñ  é
