8.2 Proofing Documents
One of the many useful features of word is that it can automatically check out document for
spelling mistake. It has a built in English language dictionary. This dictionary is stored in
the hard disk of the computer and it contains commonly used words in the English language.

Word has a Spelling-Checker and Grammar-Checker programs to check documents for
misspelled word, duplicate words, grammar, style, punctuation, and word usage. These
programs also offers advice to fix potential problems. The automatic checking features catch
the misspelled words and other errors immediately.

Not all language grammar proofing files auto-register after you copy the
grammar files to a specific location. Therefore, it is always advisable to use
the Setup program to install the grammar proofing files (and other proofing
tools).

symbol to represent.
