MS Word's Spelling And Grammar Checker

This section list various resources that will help you interact and fill in web forms.

Introduction
The spelling and grammar checker in Word can help you make fewer errors in your text. Word also has a thesaurus that can help you find the exact word you are looking for.

Spell checker
MS Word's spell-checker can help with the spelling of words you are uncertain about. It can even sometimes offer the right option when the word has been spelt differently from the correct spelling. For example, the word 'physics' will be offered as an alternative when the original word is spelt phonetically as 'fizics'.

Grammar checker
MS Word's built-in grammar checker can also offer helpful hints to improve your sentence structure. However, some of its rules (particularly the 'passive voice' rule) can often create unnecessary doubt about phrases which are usually quite acceptable.

If the grammar checker is used we would suggest customising the standard options so that only 'useful' rules are used.

MS Word also includes a thesaurus. While offering a comprehensive list of synonyms (alternatives)the thesaurus does not include word definitions which some people would find helpful.

Other specialist software to help those with reading and writing difficulties do, however, include extra features such as word definitions, speech output and homophone checking (words that sound the same).
