Word Options (Proofing)
Spelling and grammar mistakes can distract readers from the work that you put into your documents, so you want to eliminate these mistakes. Even so, you probably have your own preferences for how to use your Microsoft Office program to help you do this. You might prefer to check spelling all at once when you finish a document. Or you might want to use automatic spelling and grammar checking (the wavy red, blue, and green lines) to keep mistakes to a minimum while you work.
This article explains all the ways that you can adapt the proofing tools to create the experience that you want in the Microsoft Office program that you are using.




AutoCorrect can correct a misspelled word if the word is similar to a word in the main spelling checker dictionary. Text included in hyperlinks is not automatically corrected.
Add a text entry to the AutoCorrect list
1.      Do one of the following in these Microsoft Office programs:
1.      Optionally, if you want to add a formatted text entry, open the document that contains the text that is formatted the way that you want, and select that text.
2.      Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
3.      Click Proofing.
           Click AutoCorrect Options.
           On the AutoCorrect tab, make sure the Replace text as you type check box is selected.
           In the Replace box, type a word or phrase that you often mistype or misspell — for example, type usualy.
           In the with box, type the correct spelling of the word — for example, type usually.
           Click Add.




When correcting Spelling in Microsoft Office Programs



The following is a list of the check box options and what they do.
Select this check box
To do this
Ignore words in UPPERCASE
Ignore words in which all letters are uppercase. For example, if you select this option, the spelling checker does not flag ABC as a mistake.
Ignore words that contain numbers
Ignore words that contain numbers. For example, if you select this option, the spelling checker does not flag a1b2c3 as a mistake.
Ignore Internet and file addresses
Ignore words that are Internet and file addresses. Some examples of words that the spelling checker ignores when this option is selected include:
  • http://www.proseware.com/
  • \\proseware\public\
  • mailto:andy@proseware.com
Flag repeated words
Ignore repeated words. For example, if you select this option, the spelling checker does not flag beep beep as a mistake.
Enforce accented uppercase in French
Alert you to French words that contain uppercase letters that are missing an accent mark.
When you are using the French (Canadian) dialect, by default this option is always turned on, because the dictionary for this language includes the accented uppercase form of words in this language. This means that the option is selected by default whenever you do the following:
·         Use French (Canadian) as your Primary editing language. For more information, see Set the language options for Office.
·         Check the spelling of text that is in the French (Canadian) dialect.
Suggest from main dictionary   only
Suggest words only from the main dictionary that is built into the spelling checker. If you select this option, words from your custom dictionaries are not included in the list of suggested words when you check the spelling of a document.

Custom dictionary
If you want the new dictionary to be used for another language, while the new dictionary is still selected on the Dictionary List, select the language on the Dictionary language menu.
When you use the spelling checker, it compares the words in your document with those in the tool's main dictionary. The main dictionary contains most common words, but it might not include proper names, technical terms, or acronyms. In addition, some words might be capitalized differently in the main dictionary than in your document. Adding such words or capitalization to a custom dictionary prevents the spelling checker from flagging them as mistakes.

Select a French mode
The other option that affects all Microsoft Office programs is the French modes menu. This option affects only text in the French language.
Option
Effect
New spelling
Click this option to use spelling rules that have been recommended by the French Academy of Language since the spelling reform of 1990. If you select this option, words that are not spelled according to these rules are treated as mistakes. Also, the spelling checker suggests only words from the new spelling dictionary, which includes words not affected by the spelling reform, for misspelled words.
Traditional spelling
Click this option to use spelling rules that predate the spelling reform of 1990. If you select this option, words that are not spelled according to these rules are treated as mistakes. Also, the spelling checker suggests only words from the traditional spelling dictionary, which includes words not affected by the spelling reform, for misspelled words.
Traditional and new spellings
If you click this option, the spelling checker accepts words as spelled correctly regardless of whether they are spelled according to new or traditional spelling. Also, words from both the new and traditional spelling dictionaries are suggested for misspelled words.
For example, if you click the Traditional spelling option and edit a document with the French word bruler, the word is treated as a mistake by the spelling checker because this is the post-reform spelling of this word. However, if you click either the new spelling option or the Traditional and new spellings option, the word is not treated as a mistake.



Check spelling as you type
1.)   You want to hide spelling mistakes (the wavy red lines) in Microsoft Office Outlook items that you are editing.
2.)   You are using a computer that runs slowly because of hardware limitations (for example, because of lack of memory or CPU speed) or software limitations (for example, because you run a lot of large programs at the same time).
Use contextual spelling
1.)   After you install Microsoft Office, the Use contextual spelling check box is cleared by default if your system has less than 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM.
2.)   Selecting the Use contextual spelling check box on a system with low memory can cause slow performance. If you notice this type of problem while you are using this option, you may want to clear the Use contextual spelling check box to resolve the problem.
Mark Grammar Errors as you Type
You can choose to have Word flag grammar mistakes automatically, as shown in the following illustration.



Check Grammar with Spelling
Select the Check grammar with spelling check box if you want to include grammar errors when you check the spelling all at once (for example, when you press F7).
Show Readability Statics
Select the Show readability statistics check box if you want to display the readability statistics after you finish checking spelling all at once.
 Writing style menu: Grammar Only or Grammar & Style
You can select one of two options from the Writing style menu: Grammar Only or Grammar & Style. If you want to change the types of grammar and style rules that the grammar checker uses when checking your writing, click Settings. You can use the Grammar Settings dialog box to view the settings and make any changes that you want.
Recheck Document
Recheck Document helps to checked documents should again check.

Exceptions For:


Turn on or off automatic spelling and grammar checking
1)     To turn on or off automatic spelling checking and automatic grammar checking for the currently opened document, do the following:
i)       Under Exceptions for, click Name of currently open file.
ii)     Select or clear the Hide spelling errors in this document only and Hide grammar errors in this document only check boxes.
2)     To turn on or off automatic spelling checking and automatic grammar checking for all documents that you create from now on, do the following:

 Word Options (Save)



Save Documents


 Save files in this format   This option sets the default file format that is used when you save documents. If your documents are used in different versions of Microsoft Office Word, as Web pages, or in other programs, you can select the file format that you most frequently use. In this list, select the file format that you want to use.
Save Auto-Recover information every   Word automatically creates an Auto-Recover file at the interval that you specify in the minutes box. The interval must be a positive number from 1 to 120. If your computer stops responding, or you lose power unexpectedly, the Auto-Recover file is opened the next time that you start Word. The Auto-Recover file may contain unsaved information that would otherwise be lost from your original document.
Important- Auto-Recover does not replace the Save command. You must still save your document when you finish working on it.
Auto-Recover file location displays the default Auto-Recover file location. In the text box, type the path that you want to use as the Auto-Recover file location.
Default file location  Type the path that you want Word to use as the location the first time that you use the Open, Save, or Save As command when you start Word, or click Browse to locate the folder. If you want to type a path to a network server location for the default file location, enter the path by using the UNC syntax: \\servername\foldername. You must restart Word to apply the new default file location to a network server.
 Note- This option controls the default behavior the first time that you use the Open, Save, or Save As commands when you start Word. Whenever you save a document, you can override these settings by selecting a different location or format in the Open, Save or Save As dialog box.

Offline editing options for the document management server files



Save checked-out files to:  This option specifies the location where you want to save checked-out documents.
·         The server drafts location on this computer Click this to save checked-out files to the folder that is specified in the Server drafts location box to save checked-out files.
·         The web server Click this to save checked-out files to the Web server.
Server drafts location - Displays the default server drafts location. In the text box, type the path that you want to use as the server drafts location, or click Browse to locate the server drafts location.
Preserve fidelity when sharing this document- Select the name of a document that is already open, or click All New Documents to make the fidelity settings apply to all documents that you will create.


Embed fonts in the file- Select this option to save the fonts that are used in the document with the file, if the fonts are allowed to be embedded. When this option is on, other readers can see and can use the fonts in your document, even if they do not have the fonts installed on their computer. Turning on this option increases file size. For more information about embedding fonts, see Embedding TrueType on the Microsoft.com Web site.
·         Embed only the characters used in the document (best for reducing file size) - Select this option to embed only the fonts that you actually use in a document. If you use 32 or fewer characters of a font, Word embeds only those characters. This option is most useful for documents that other users plan to view or print only, because the un embedded font characters and styles aren't available for editing. This option is available only when you select the Embed fonts in the file option.
·         Do not embed common system fonts- Select to embed fonts only if they are not commonly installed on computers running Microsoft Windows and 2007 Microsoft Office system software. This option is available only when you select the Embed fonts in the file option.

Typing replaces selected text Select this option to delete the selected text when you begin to type. If you clear this check box, Microsoft Office Word inserts new text in front of the selected text and does not delete the selected text.

When selecting, automatically select entire word Select this option to select entire words when you select part of one word and then part of the next word. Turning this option on also causes Word to select a word and the space that follows it when you double-click a word.
Allow text to be dragged and dropped Select this option to be able to move or copy selected text by dragging it. To move text, select the text, and then drag it to a new location. To copy text, select the text, and then hold down the CTRL key while you drag the selection to its new location.
Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink Select this option to make it easier to edit the text of hyperlinks. When this option is turned on, you must press CTRL while you click the link to follow the link.

Use Normal style for bulleted or numbered lists Select this option to base list styles on the Normal paragraph style instead of the Paragraph List style.
Keep track of formatting Select this option to keep track of your formatting as you type. This enables you to easily apply the same formatting elsewhere. This option must be turned on before you can use the Select Text with Similar Formatting command on the shortcut menu that appears if you right-click selected text. To display a list of the formatting that you have used, use the Options command on the Style pane, and then select the Paragraph level formatting, Font formatting, and Bullet and numbering formatting check boxes.
Mark formatting inconsistencies Select this option to mark formatting with a wavy blue underline when it is similar to, but not exactly the same as, other formatting in your documents. To use this option, you must also select the Keep track of formatting check box.
