Correcting Spelling and Grammar Errors

By default, Word automatically underlines misspelled words in red and grammar mistakes in green. Don't worry, the red and green will not appear when the document is printed. To correct an error, move the mouse cursor over the error and click the right mouse button (for a PC) or press Ctrl + click (for a Mac). Click one of the suggested options from the menu. If you don't like any of the suggestions, choose Ignore (ignore this time only) or Ignore All (ignore for the whole document). Or just click anywhere else on the screen.
