The most popular method of checking your spelling still remains the dialog box under
the Tools menu. There are also toolbar buttons for the spell check. (
in Word and
in WordPerfect) In the
spell check, users have the ability to check the spelling of the entire document or a
selected piece of text. When an unfamiliar word comes up, the spell check allows the user
to ignore that word, change it, or even add it to a user dictionary. Most spell checks
these days will also look for double-word errors and punctuation errors related to the
spelling of documents. Here is a sample Spell Check dialog box.
Some word processors can even check the grammar of your document.
