Editing: Spelling and Grammar

Learn to use the proofing tool to correct Arabic spelling and grammar errors in Microsoft Word.

A green underline represents a grammar error and a red underline represents a spelling error.

There are two ways in correcting these errors.

Method 1: Right click on text which has the error and select appropriate action. 

Method 2: This method uses the spelling and grammar dialogue box.

• To open the dialogue box press shortcut F7. Alternatively, on the menu bar click Review and then click spelling and grammar.
• To scroll to the next without changing, on the dialogue box, click ignore once or next sentence.
• To scroll past all errors of same type, on the dialogue box, click ignore all.
• To change only that error, click change.
• To change all instances of that error, click change all.

Note: The spelling and grammar tool is not entire accurate and can miss errors or suggest changes to correct spelling or grammar. Use your judgement.
