XPCheck spelling and grammar

• Word's Spelling and Grammar checker highlights typing errors in red and grammatical errors in green as you type.

• If you open an existing document, you can still use the checker to locate errors.

• As the checker proceeds through the document, it will stop at each error it finds and suggest one or more possible corrections.

XPProofread your document

Although the Spelling and Grammar checker can find obvious mistakes in your document, you should always proofread the document very carefully. In the figure below, the word “too” is written where it should be “two”. Since “too” is spelled correctly, it is not flagged as an error, but it is still incorrect.

• After the text is selected, you can perform many actions, including deleting the highlighted text by pressing the Delete key.

XPMove text within the document

• The ability to move text within a document is a timesaving editing feature.

• Moving text, compared to retyping the same amount of text, makes it much easier to reorganize a document.

• Dragging and dropping text enables you to move small or large amounts of text with a few mouse clicks.

XPCut, copy and paste text

• Cutting or copying and then pasting text is another way to move text from one location to another. – Cutting text removes it from its original location– Pasting places it in a new location – Copying leaves the text in its original location, but

places a copy of the text in the new location when you paste

• Cut and copied items are stored on the Clipboard.• In Word 2003, a maximum of 24 items can be

stored on the Clipboard.

XPChange margins, line spacing, alignment, and paragraph indents

• Margins affect the amount of white space between the type and the edge of the paper.

• Line spacing, which you can change using the Line Spacing button on the Formatting toolbar, determines the amount of white space between lines of type.

• Text alignment identifies how the text lines up between the left and right margins.

• Paragraph indents change where text starts and stops on each horizontal line without changing the margins.

• Indents are most often applied to the first line of a paragraph, but entire paragraphs can be indented for various reasons.

XPChange fonts and adjust font sizes

• Important text, such as titles or headings, should look different from the regular text in a document.

• Do this by making the title or headings larger or selecting a different font. – Fonts are classified as serif or sans serif

– Traditionally, documents use a serif font for the main text and a sans serif font for headings

• Draw attention to specific words by using the buttons on the Formatting toolbar to make the words bold, underlined, or italic.

• A quick way to alter either the font or the font size is to access the font list or the font size list. These drop-down lists allow you to quickly change the font/font size.
