Check characters in word

Source text:

Result of checking:

Sometimes it happens that in a text written in Latin, Unicode letters are somehow embedded (French, Japanese, etc.). Previously, SEO-specialists sinned this, which, in order to reduce text spamming, changed equivalent Latin letters in Unicode in repeated words («c» to «с», «e» to «é», «s» to «ś», etc.).

This free unicode characters detector tool will help you check the text for the contents of characters in another layout and highlight the letters found.

As one would expect, Microsoft Word includes a feature to count the words in a document; it also includes the ability to count the characters. Knowing the character count of a document is important for any business owner. For example, as a freelance writer your client may have specific character counts they want you to obtain; for other business owners, perhaps the contact form for your client is character-count specific. When you need to check the character count in Microsoft Word, you can do so in the same way you check the word count.

  1. Open the document in Word that you want to count the characters in.

  2. Click the «Review» tab.

  3. Click «Word Count» in the Proofing section. The Word Count window opens and displays the numbers of characters in the document with and without spaces.

  4. Click «Close» to close the Word Count window.

What is Spell Checker in MS Word?

Microsoft Word has a special feature called spell check that allows you to check spelling and grammatical mistakes that you made in the document. Basically spell check is a software tool that identifies the misspelled words present in the document. It also allows you to search a particular word in the document that you know you’ve misspelled in the whole document. 

In Microsoft Word documents, Word’s spell check function is set to automatically check your spelling while you type. Errors in your document will have color-coded underlines reflecting your choices, like red for spelling errors, green for grammar errors, and blue for contextual spelling errors.

Steps to enable Spell Checker in MS Word

Step 1: On the navigation menu bar click on the File option.

Step 2: Next click on the option button as shown in the figure:

Step 3: A word option dialog box will appear on the screen.

Step 4: Now select the Proofing option from the left menu as shown in the figure:

Step 5: Check all boxes as shown in the figure:

Step 6: Next click on the OK button.

Finally, Spell Check is enabled in MS Word.

How to Manually Check Spellings 

Step 1: On the navigation menu bar click on the Review option.

Step 2: Next click on the spellings & grammar option as shown in the figure:

Note – If there is any spelling or grammatical mistake in your Word document, then the following dialog box appears with misspelled words present in the red underlined text.

Step 3: If there is a spelling mistake in the document then it will appear in the red underline text as shown in the figure:

Step 4: Select the correct spelling from the suggestion menu.

Step 5: Next click on the YES option.

Note: If all spellings are correct in your Word document, then the following pop-up window will appear on the screen.

Step 6: Click on the OK option.

Finally, all the spellings and grammars are manually checked.

Shortcut Method to Check Spellings

A menu with correctly spelled options will appear in which you can select the correct word or you can ignore it.

Step 2: Now choose the correct spelling from the menu as shown in the figure:

To start a check of the spelling and grammar in your document, just press F7.

Click a heading below for more information

Most Office programs automatically check for potential spelling and grammatical errors as you type, so you don’t need to do anything to show errors while you work. 

Notes: 

  • Automatic spelling and grammar checking is not available in Access, Excel, or Project. You can manually start a spell check by pressing F7.

  • Automatic grammar checking is available only in Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint 2013 (or newer).

Office marks potential spelling errors with a red squiggly line, and potential grammatical errors are marked with a blue squiggly line.

If spelling or grammatical errors aren’t marked, automatic checking might be turned off. You can turn on the automatic spelling and grammar checker.

When you see a spelling or grammatical error that you want assistance fixing, right-click on the underlined word or phrase and choose one of the options to fix the error.

If Office is flagging words as misspelled but you have it spelled the way you want it, select Add to Dictionary to teach Office not to flag that word as misspelled in the future. For more information on this see: Add or edit words in a spell check dictionary.

If you don’t want Office to mark potential errors with squiggly lines while you are working, you can turn automatic spelling and grammar checking off:

  1. Open the spelling and grammar options:

    • In OneNote, PowerPoint, Publisher, Visio, and Word: On the File menu, click Options, and then click Proofing.

    • In InfoPath: On the Home tab, click the arrow next to or under Spelling, and then click Spelling Options.

    • In Outlook: On the File menu, click Options, and click Mail, and then click Spelling and Autocorrect.

    Note: In Word, you can turn the spelling checker on or off for only the document you’re currently working with or for all new documents. Select an option in the Exceptions for list, and then select or clear the Hide spelling errors in this document only and Hide grammar errors in this document only check boxes.

  1. Open the document or item that you want to check.

  2. On the File menu, click Options > Proofing> Recheck Document. In Outlook you’ll find this under File > Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect

Здравствуйте. Многим пользователям приходится часто набирать текст для составления документов, написания контента для сайтов, оформления писем и т.д. Очень важно писать правильно, чтобы не показать себя глупым и невежественным человеком. Я рекомендую программу Word из офисного пакета Microsoft Office. В данной статье хочу рассказать, как проверить текст на ошибки онлайн и в Word 2010 или других версиях этого текстового редактора.

Немного истории

Еще в 2010 году я создал развлекательный ресурс о кино, где публиковал рецензии на фильмы, обзоры премьер, биографии актеров. Спустя четыре года на сайте было размещено более трех тысяч статей. Однажды я решил посмотреть свои первые записи, и был ошеломлен. Обнаружил массу ошибок грамматических и пунктуационных, предложения состояли из множества оборотов, читать их было непросто. На то время я не проверял их на правописание, а зря. Первые дни я не мог успокоиться и редактировал старые тексты, чтобы довести их до ума.

Вывод напрашивался сам: следовало предварительно набирать обзоры в Ворде, чтобы автоматически исправлять ошибки.

В этой программе встроен очень полезный функционал, который выделяет (подчеркивает) некорректный ввод красной или зеленой волнистой линией. Но не всегда проверка срабатывает автоматически. Возможно, её предварительно нужно включить в настройках приложения. Как это сделать – Вы сейчас узнаете!

Варианты проверки

Существует несколько способов «сканирования» документов на наличие ошибок. Перейдем к их рассмотрению.

Как проверить текст на ошибки онлайн

Сервисов существует немало, но самыми распространенными являются Спеллер от Яндекса и Text.ru. Достаточно перейти по указанным ссылкам и вставить в поле ввода нужный текстовый фрагмент.

как сделать spell check в word

Автоматическая

Срабатывает по ходу набора текста, чтобы можно было сразу внести изменения. К примеру, Вы пропустили букву в слове, или не поставили пробел после знака препинания. Word сразу же предупредит о необходимости исправления.

Но если Вы вводите заведомо некорректные слова, а система никак на это не реагирует, значит, автоматическая проверка не включена. Как её активировать?

  • Заходим в главное меню приложения, кликнув по кнопке в левом верхнем углу.
  • Теперь следует нажать на «Параметры Word» (этот элемент может находиться в разных местах, в зависимости от версии программы). У меня это выглядит так:

как сделать spell check в word

  • Для Ворд 2013 с обновленным интерфейсом меню имеет следующий вид:

как сделать spell check в word

  • Дальнейшие опции одинаковы для разных выпусков офисного редактора. Слева выбираем пункт «Правописание». А справа находим строчку «Автоматически проверять…» и ставим возле неё галочку.

как сделать spell check в word

В самом низу можно задать набор правил для проверки. По умолчанию выбрано значение «для деловой переписки», но можно указать более строгий алгоритм, если хотите устранить максимум ошибок и убрать разговорные фразы.

Проверка по умолчанию

Если во время набора текста начинают подчеркиваться правильные слова, скорее всего они отсутствуют в словаре программы. Нужно их туда добавить. Как это сделать правильно?

  • Выделяем необходимое слово / фразу / фрагмент документа;
  • Переходим в раздел «Рецензирование», затем – «Правописание» (для Ворд 2007 и выше). Для более ранних версий следует зайти в меню «Сервис». Или проще нажать на клавиатуре «F7». Откроется следующее окно:

как сделать spell check в word

Здесь можно либо пропустить ошибку, либо исправить её (могут быть предложены варианты замены), либо добавить её в словарь (если считаете, что слово является правильным и не содержит ошибок).

С этим разобрались.

Но что делать, если Вы пытаетесь выполнить вышеуказанные действия, но перед Вами появляется сообщение «Средства проверки не установлены»? Или же просто отображается окошко, что «Проверка окончена», но красное / зеленое подчеркивание не убирается? В таком случае, необходимо перейти к следующим шагам.

Установка пакета

Речь идет о пакете проверки правописания, который по каким-то причинам не вошел в состав приложения. Возможно, Вы забили указать его во время инсталляции. Решение следующее:

  • Переходим в «Панель управления» и открываем раздел «Программы и компоненты»:

как сделать spell check в word

  • В появившемся окне отобразятся все установленные программы. Следует найти Word, выделить его и кликнуть по кнопке «Изменить»:

как сделать spell check в word

  • После короткой паузы должно отобразиться окно с предложением добавить новые компоненты / удалить существующие. Жмем «Продолжить» (Далее).
  • Теперь следует раскрыть ветку «Общие средства». В ней должны быть «Средства проверки правописания». Кликаем по элементу и выбираем опцию «Запускать всё с моего ПК»:

как сделать spell check в word

Вот и всё! Осталось дождаться установки выбранного компонента. После этого рекомендую перезапустить компьютер.

Настройки языка

Бывает, что для одного языка проверка производится корректно, а для другого – вообще не работает. Например, если нужно проверить текст на английском на ошибки. В таком случае, следует перейти во вкладку «Рецензирование» (она есть и в Ворде 2016 года), нажать на изображение глобуса. Это меню выбора языка, где следует снять отметку напротив опции «Не проверять правописание»:

Видео

Если не хотите читать много букв, то можете откинуться на спинку кресла (или стула) и посмотреть обучающее видео, как включить проверку орфографии в Word:

Как видите, всё очень просто. Буквально несколько кликов – и проблема устранена. Теперь знаете, как проверить английский текст на ошибки онлайн (или на любом другом языке). Даже если Ваша ситуация сугубо индивидуальна и не может быть решена с помощью моей инструкции, рекомендую задавать вопросы в комментариях. Я обязательно на них отвечу.

In this chapter, we will discuss how to check spelling and grammar in Word 2010. Microsoft Word provides a decent Spelling and Grammar Checker which enables you to search for and correct all spelling and grammar mistakes in your document. Word is intelligent enough to identify misspelled or misused, as well as grammar errors and underlines them as follows.

  • A red underline beneath spelling errors.
  • A green underline beneath grammar errors.
  • A blue line under correctly spelled but misused words.

Check Spelling and Grammar using Review tab

Here is the simple procedure to find out the spelling mistakes and fix them −

Step 1 − Click the Review tab and then click the Spelling & Grammar button.

Step 2 − A Spelling and Grammar dialog box will appear and will display the wrong spellings or errors in grammar. You will also get suggestions to correct as shown below −

Now you have following options to fix the spelling mistakes −

  • Ignore − If you are willing to ignore a word, then click this button and Word ignores the word throughout the document.

  • Ignore All − Like Ignore, but this ignores all occurrences of the same misspelling, not just once but throughout the document.

  • Add to Dictionary − Choose Add to Dictionary to add the word to the Word spelling dictionary.

  • Change − This will change the wrong word using the suggested correct word.

  • Change All − Like Change, but this changes all occurrences of the same misspelling, not just once but throughout the document.

  • AutoCorrect − If you select a suggestion, Word creates an AutoCorrect entry that automatically corrects this spelling error from now on.

Following are the different options in case you have grammatical mistake −

  • Next Sentence − You can click Next Sentence to direct the grammar checker to skip ahead to the next sentence.

  • Explain − The grammar checker displays a description of the rule that caused the sentence to be flagged as a possible error.

  • Options − This will open the Word Options dialog box to allow you to change the behavior of the grammar checker or spelling options.

  • Undo − This will undo the last grammar changed.

Step 3 − Select one of the given suggestions you want to use and click the Change option to fix the spelling or grammar mistake and repeat the step to fix all the spelling or grammar mistake.

Step 4 − Word displays a dialog box when it finishes checking for spelling and grammar mistakes, finally Click OK.

Check Spelling and Grammar using Right Click

If you will right-click the mouse button over a misspelled word, then it will show you the correct suggestions and the above mentioned options to fix the spelling or grammar mistake. Try it yourself.

Please Note:
This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Word versions: 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003. If you are using a later version (Word 2007 or later), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Word, click here: Searching for Special Characters.

This tip applies to Word 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003


Word allows you to search not just for text, but also for special characters that normally do not print. If you are working with documents that use tabular material, you will find yourself searching for tab characters quite a bit. To search for tabs, follow these steps:

  1. Press Ctrl+F. Word displays the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
  2. Click the More button, if it is available. (See Figure 1.)
  3. Figure 1. The Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.

  4. In the Find What box, enter the text for which you want to search. For example, to search for a tab character enter ^t (it is important to use a lowercase t). Alternatively, you can click on the Special button and select a special character from the list.
  5. Set other searching parameters, as desired.
  6. Click on Find Next.

Often, you will be searching for other special characters such as breaks and paragraph marks. It can be faster to remember these and type them in rather then looking them up all of the time. The following is a list of the more common special characters:

Special Character   Symbol
Paragraph Marker   ^p
Manual Page Break   ^m
Section Break   ^b
Column Break   ^n
Em Dash   ^+
En Dash   ^=
Graphic   ^g
Any Character   ^?
Any Digit   ^#
Any Letter   ^$
White Space   ^w
Caret Character   ^^

You can also use many of these same special characters in the Replace With box when doing a search and replace operation. You cannot, however, use the special white space character (^w) in the Replace With box.

In addition, Word allows you to search for any character as long as you know its ASCII value. (You can find ASCII values for characters in the back of many programming books.) All you need to do is use the caret, followed by a zero and then the three-digit value of the character. For instance, if you wanted to search for a capital A, whose ASCII value is 65, you would use ^0065 as your search string.

To check if a Python string contains all the characters from a list, check if each character exists in the word:

Here is an example:

chars = ["H", "e", "y"]
word = "Hello"

has_all = all([char in word for char in chars])

print(has_all)

Output:

False

To learn other useful string methods in Python, feel free to check this article.

Below you find a more detailed guide of how to check if a string contains characters from a list.

Step-by-step Guide

Given a list of characters and a string, you can check if all the characters of a list are found in the target string following these steps:

  1. Loop through the list of characters.
  2. Check if a character is in the target string.
  3. Add the truth to a list.
  4. Check if all truth values in a list are True.

Here is how it looks in code:

chars = ["H", "e", "y"]
word = "Hello"
          
truths = []
          
# 1. Loop through the chars
for char in chars:
    # 2. Check if a character is in the target string
    truth = char in word
    # 3. Add the truth to a truths list
    truths.append(truth)
          
# 4. Check if all boolean values are True
has_all = True
for truth in truths:
    has_all = has_all and truth
          
print(has_all)

Output:

False

But you can make this piece of code shorter by using:

  • List comprehension to shorten the 1st for loop.
  • Built-in all() method to get rid of the 2nd loop. This method checks if all booleans are True.

This makes the code look the same as in the example solution in the introduction:

chars = ["H", "e", "y"]
word = "Hello"
          
has_all = all([char in word for char in chars])
          
print(has_all)

Output:

False

To be more general, you can implement a function that gets the job done.

Here is how it looks in code:

def has_all(chars, string):
    return all([char in string for char in chars])
          
# Example call
print(has_all("Hello", ["H","i"]))

Output:

False

Conclusion

Today you learned how to check if a Python string contains all characters present in a list.

To recap, you need to run a loop through the list of the characters. Then you need to check if each of those characters exists in the target string.

Thanks for reading.

Happy coding!

Identify Unicode characters that force text messages into Unicode format.

How to Use the Unicode Character Detector

With this simple tool, you can instantly identify GSM characters and Unicode symbols in your text messages. Characters in the GSM charset will be grey, while Unicode special characters will be highlighted in red.

  • Step #1 Copy and paste a text message into the empty box. Characters will automatically be displayed in the results box.

  • Step #2 Identify the different symbols in your SMS message. GSM characters will be displayed in grey, Unicode characters will appear in red and escape characters will be displayed in orange.

  • Step #3 The tool also calculates the number of characters in the text and the number of parts of a split message, thus allowing you to control concatenation.

Why you should use the Unicode character detector

As you probably already know, text messages are limited to 160 characters if they are all from the GSM character set. However, if your text contains Unicode symbols, it will be limited to 70 characters instead of 160.

Of course, messages longer than 70 characters can still be sent, but they will become multipart. This means that a 160-character SMS message will be split into three text messages if they have Unicode symbols. This can be extremely frustrating. What is even more frustrating is when your client’s phone crashes due to the Unicode character strings (this has actually happened on several occasions).

By using the Unicode character detector, you can identify and replace symbols that aren’t part of the 7-bit GSM charset to avoid splitting text messages into multiple segments.

Why we built this tool

Unicode characters not only break up text, but sometimes they do not show up at all, or they appear as the dreaded □ □ □. To ensure that the information is passed correctly to the SMS gateway, text messages must be properly encoded. The problem is that many characters are extremely difficult to encode, and because the GSM 3.38 charset is almost impossible to support, many providers have decided to quit altogether.

We created the Unicode character detector tool to help our clients avoid the problems listed above and to ensure that your messages are delivered as intended.

Benefits of using the Unicode character detector

Here are the main benefits of using our Unicode character detection tool:

  • Identify GSM and Unicode characters in your text messages.

  • Identify the number of characters and parts in a text.

  • Based on the number of Unicode characters, find out if the text will be segmented.

  • Remove Unicode symbols and replace them with GSM characters.

  • Preview your text messages before sending them to customers.

  • Control how a text message will be split if it contains Unicode.

Why are text messages that contain Unicode segmented?

When you try to send a text message with symbols that fall outside the GSM character set, you have to use Unicode, which assigns a unique code to every character that isn’t part of the standard charset. Because several GSM characters are used to describe a Unicode character, you will only be able to send text messages of 35–70 characters.

Can I avoid text message segmentation and still use Unicode?

To avoid SMS segmentation and to convert Unicode symbols to Latin only, you can use our Text Transliterator.

GSM describes the protocols for second-generation cellular networks and mobile devices. Presently, it is the standard for mobile communications, holding over 90% of the market share. Therefore, all messages sent to such devices must respect the standard GSM charset.

When a text message contains non-GSM characters, it will be limited to 70 characters. The only solution to avoid having your texts split is to check for Unicode characters and to replace them with their equivalent in the GSM charset (if such an equivalent exists).

What characters are part of the GSM charset?

The standard GSM character set contains the letters of the English alphabet, digits and some special characters, including a few Greek ones.

GSM character list: here

What characters are part of the Unicode charset?

The Unicode character list contains symbols from the Cyrillic, Chinese, Arabic, Korean and Hangul alphabets. It also contains several special symbols (such as emoticons, emoji and kanji).
