Spelling Counts

Type in your first name. Double click to select the word, then Edit ->Copy, Edit ->Paste 

Type in your last name. Select the word, Edit->Copy, Edit ->Paste

 

Now, using drag and drop, make the words go, “First Name, Last Name, First Name, Last Name.”

Do you see a red wavy line under your name? Microsoft Word has an automatic spell checker and it may have noticed that your name is not in the dictionary.

The spell checker can also be started by going to Tools on the menu bar and selecting Spelling.

  • Right click your name and review the list of options

  • Select Add to place your name in your dictionary. (Technical term: custom.dic.)

Try this experiment using the following words and sentences:

  • Type "schooool," and correct the spelling using your right mouse click

  • Type "We was going to school." and correct the grammar using your right mouse click
