All Microsoft Office programs can check spelling, and most can check grammar.
Using Microsoft 365? You may be interested in checking out the powerful new Editor feature in Word! See Editor — your writing assistant for more information.
Run the spelling and grammar checker
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:
-
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.
-
-
Select or clear the Check spelling as you type check box. In programs that have automatic grammar checking, you may also select or clear the Mark grammar errors as you type check box.
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.
If you don’t want Office to check grammar at all (either when running a spell check or automatically as you type), you can turn it off:
-
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.
-
-
Clear the Mark grammar errors as you type and Check grammar with spelling check boxes.
Note: Not every Office program will have both of these options.
In Word, Outlook, PowerPoint 2013 (or newer), you can force a recheck of the words and grammar that you previously skipped by doing the following:
-
Open the document or item that you want to check.
-
On the File menu, click Options > Proofing> Recheck Document. In Outlook you’ll find this under File > Options > Mail > Spelling and Autocorrect
-
Click Yes when you see the warning message about resetting the spelling and grammar checker.
-
Click OK in the dialog box to get back to the document, and then run the spelling and grammar checker again.

Check spelling and grammar in a different language
Microsoft Editor runs in Word for Microsoft 365 to analyze your document and offer suggestions for spelling, grammar, and stylistic issues, like making sentences more concise, choosing simpler words, or writing with more formality.
To use Editor, on the Home tab choose Editor.
Reviewing suggestions
To focus on the issues you care most about, choose a correction or refinement type, like Grammar or Clarity. Then, use the arrows near the top of the pane to step through each of that type of issue.
Choose a suggestion to incorporate it into your document. If you don’t like the suggestion, choose Ignore Once. Or, if you never want this type of suggestion, choose Don’t check for this issue.
Note: If you change your mind about an issue you ignored, close and reopen the document, and go back to Editor. Editor will find the issue again.
Tailor what Editor checks for
By default, Editor checks for several categories of issues, and the suggestions may or may not suit your writing style. To finely tune Editor for suggestions you want, do the following:
-
In the Editor pane, choose Settings.
-
In the Word Options dialog box, next to Grammar & Refinements, choose Settings.
-
Scroll through the list of options. Select issues you want Editor to check, and clear the issues you want Editor to ignore.
Note: Choosing Reset All returns to the default settings.
-
Choose OK.
Tip: Editor is designed to empower you to bring out the best in your writing. We are continually making updates to its suggestions and experimenting to learn which suggestions are most welcome. If you have feedback for us, choose Help Improve Office? at the top of the Word window to open the Feedback pane.
You might notice Editor’s red, blue, and purple underlines in your document even when the Editor pane is closed. That’s because Editor is always running in the background, checking for spelling, grammar, and some style issues.
Right-click the underlined text to see the suggestion. Use context menu to:
-
Listen to the suggestion by clicking the arrow next to the suggestion and then choosing Read Aloud.
-
Skip this instance of the issue by choosing Ignore Once.
-
Tell Editor to stop checking for this issue by choosing Don’t check for this issue.
-
Fine tune the settings for this type of issue by choosing the Options link.
-
Get more information about the issue by choosing See More.
Your document might be written in more than one language, or you might want to switch to another language for Editor to check. If you are set up to use multiple authoring languages (File > Options > Language), Word detects the language you’re writing in, and Editor will check for issues in that language.
However, you might be writing in a language that Word doesn’t detect automatically. In that case, you can get Editor to check text in that language by selecting the text and going to Review > Language > Set Proofing Language, and then choose your language.
When Editor is checking more than one language, the Editor pane lists corrections and refinements for each language in the document.
For information about the issues that Editor checks in various languages, see Editor’s spelling, grammar, and refinement availability by language.
When you work on documents in Word on the web, Editor provides a rich set of features that are coming soon to Word for Windows. Even when you’re not using Word, the Editor browser extension helps you with writing on websites like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Gmail.
Word marks spelling, grammar, and stylistic issues with an underline. Right-click the underlined word, and then choose the suggestion you want, or learn more about the error and how to correct it.
Or, open the Editor pane to address issues by category.
-
On the Review tab, select Check Document.
-
The Editor pane categorizes spelling, grammar, and stylistic issues.
-
Click each category to address the issues.
Note: For keyboard shortcuts in the Editor pane, there’s no need to press Alt. Just use the underlined letter to select the command (like i for Ignore Once, g for Ignore All, etc) .
-
In the Editor pane, click Settings.
-
Under When correcting spelling and grammar in Word, select Settings
-
For Writing Style, select Grammar & Refinements .
-
Scroll down to see all of the options available, and select or clear the rules you want. The settings apply to all the documents that you edit, not just the current one.
Requirements and availability of the Editor pane include the following:
-
Internet connection: Make sure your connection is working.
-
Intelligent Services switched on: Go to File > Options > General and turn on Office Intelligence Services.
-
Language availability: For information about the issues that Word checks for in various languages, see Editor’s spelling, grammar, and refinement availability by language.

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.
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:
- Для Ворд 2013 с обновленным интерфейсом меню имеет следующий вид:
- Дальнейшие опции одинаковы для разных выпусков офисного редактора. Слева выбираем пункт «Правописание». А справа находим строчку «Автоматически проверять…» и ставим возле неё галочку.
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:
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»:
- В появившемся окне отобразятся все установленные программы. Следует найти Word, выделить его и кликнуть по кнопке «Изменить»:
- 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»:
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.
С уважением, Виктор

Spelling mistakes in published documents, personal letters, and work emails can be embarrassing. At worst, your audience may question your expertise or interpret your mistakes as disrespectful. Of course you might have simply made a typo while typing too fast or you just overlooked errors when proofreading. To avoid these mistakes, you can set Word to automatically flag misspelled words and even suggest corrections.
Contents
- Turning spell check on and off in Word
- Accepting suggested corrections
- Checking spelling and grammar manually
- Enabling automatic spell checking in older versions of Word
If spell check is turned on, Word marks misspelled words with a wavy red line and flags grammatical errors with a wavy blue line. This way, you can quickly correct misspelled words. However, these highlighted errors can be distracting when you’re writing. For this reason, Word gives you the option of disabling spell check while you type. When it’s time to proofread your work, you can turn on spell check in Word and show the flagged errors. That way you’ll see any spelling mistakes at a glance and can easily correct them.
- For spell check to work in Word, you have to set the rightediting language. Select the text (the quickest way to do this is to use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + A) and then click the language selection box in the status bar.
- Select the desired language.
3. Do not rely on the option for detecting the language automatically. This feature often causes errors if the text contains words in other languages. Turn off “Detect language automatically” and click “OK”.
4. Open the “File” tab. Select “Options” and open the “Proofing” group.
5. To turn the Word spelling checker on or off, check or uncheck the boxes for “Check spelling as you type” and “Mark grammar errors as you type”.
Accepting suggested corrections
If you turned off AutoCorrect while writing and want to go back and check your spelling in Word, you can turn this feature on by selecting the checkboxes for the options you want to use. However, this feature, especially the grammar check, is more of a helpful aid than a real check. It often misinterprets certain word combinations as errors and does not always detect grammatical errors. For this reason, it’s best not to rely on the automatic proofing tools.
If you right-click a word highlighted with red or blue lines, Word displays a context menu with suggestions that you can apply with a single click. However, if more than two letters are incorrect or mixed up in a word, Word can no longer predict which word you originally intended to use.
Checking spelling and grammar manually
When you click the spell check icon in the status bar, a sidebar appears on the right for correcting spelling and grammar.
This sidebar automatically shows the next error based on the location of your cursor and suggests corrections. You can click on “Ignore” to accept the incorrectly flagged Word. Word will then no longer flag it as an error.
The grammar check feature is especially useful because Word points out stylistic issues andgrammar rules that can help you avoid mistakes in the future.

The last few versions of Word have an icon showing the status of the spelling checker in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

In older versions of Word, this context menu contained the options “Hide spelling errors” and “Hide grammar errors” and also provided direct access to spell check settings.
