How to do corrections in word

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:

  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.

  2. 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.

    The Check Spelling 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.

  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.

  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

  3. Click Yes when you see the warning message about resetting the spelling and grammar checker.

Word: Activate and Use Correction Mode

Word’s correction mode helps enormously when you are working on a document with several people. With it, the changes and comments of your colleagues are clearly visible to everyone. In this tutorial, we will show you how to activate and use the correction mode.

Activate and use correction mode in Word

Activate and use correction mode in Word

  • Once you have finished writing a text and want to have it corrected or critically reviewed by experts, save it in activated correction mode. To do this, proceed as follows:
  • In the Word menu, open the “Review” tab and activate the “Track Changes” command in the “Track” button. The symbol and command are now highlighted in blue. Everything that is deleted or added now appears red or crossed out in red in your document by default.
  • You can select which changes should be displayed in your text in the submenu “Show Markup”. This becomes visible when you click on the small triangle next to “Show Markup”. Put a tick in front of the entries whose corrections you want to see in the document.
    You can also change the formatting of the corrections. To do this, go to the submenu “Show Markup” and select the entry “Speech Bubbles”. The default setting is “Show only formatting and comments in balloons”. For example, if you want to see all changes outside the text, put a tick in front of “Show revisions in balloons”.
  • When you get back a corrected and commented text, you can decide whether you want to apply all the changes directly or whether you want to check them step by step. Open the submenu to the “Accept” command on the “Review” tab and determine there how you want to proceed.
  • Your proofreaders may also have had comments on the content of the text. These can be inserted by clicking on the command “New Comment” in the menu of the “Review” tab. A comment is now inserted at the position of the mouse in the text.
  • If you return a commented document, you can jump from comment to comment using the commands “Previous element” and “Next element” in the “Comments” button.

Microsoft’s word processing software is loaded with little-known features. Often ignored by users, who are content to exploit the most basic functions, they can nevertheless be of great service by simplifying tedious tasks. This is the case, for example, with the correction of documents.

Word includes a Review module, which allows you to apply non-destructive corrections to a document. Corrected passages are crossed out, and the suggested correction is displayed alongside, while the corrector can incorporate comments into his correction. Even better, the author of the document can then choose to validate, or not, the suggested corrections.

1. Activate track changes

To start correcting a document, you must first activate the track changes. To do this, in the Word document, go to the Review tab, and click Track Changes.

2. Add corrections

Once change tracking is enabled, remediation can begin. Make mistakes, erase words or entire sentences, and write your corrections directly in the document.

To the left of the line where a correction has been applied, a red line should appear. It allows the corrector to view the location of the corrections applied.

Click on this red line to reveal the details of the corrections made. You should then be able to view the deleted items (they are crossed out), and the added items (visible in red).

3. Add a comment

If you are not sure of the correction to be made on a specific passage, it is possible to add a comment in the file.

Select the passage then, still in the Revision tab, click on New comment.

Highlighted in red, the element selected and directly linked to the comment that takes place in a column to the right of the document. Click on the comment frame to edit it.

4. Validate the corrections

When you open a document that has been corrected with the integrated Review module, there are several possibilities to validate or reject the corrections. Place the cursor at the start of the text, then on the Review tab, click Accept.

The first suggested correction should be selected. Click on Accept again to validate it.

For any comments entered, click on the comment in the right column and, after reading it, click on the Delete button.

Corrections can also be validated one by one, directly from the right click menu. You will then have to choose to Validate or Reject the insertion.

Finally, if you do not want to review all the corrections made in a document, you can perfectly decide to validate them all at once.

To do this, click the drop-down menu of the Accept button from the ribbon, and choose to Accept all changes and stop tracking.

All the corrected elements in the document will then be validated, and the follow-up of corrections, which allows all the modifications made in a document to be displayed in red, will be deactivated. The original document reverts to its classic display and can again be edited by its author.

  • Question

    What are the different ways in which one can edit a document?

    Community Answer

    You can use all mark up to show all your changes, whether they be in deletion, correction, or paraphrasing. In editing, it is important to capture the voice of the original writer, making changes only to bridge the gap between grammar and clear visual images for the reader. It isn’t easy to rewrite other’s work, nor one’s own in my experience.

  • Question

    How do I change the name of the editor in comments in documents with multiple editors?

    Community Answer

    Click Review, click Track Changes, Change User Name, and type in the initials that you want to appear. You can also change the color that changes are typed in.

You’ll find them under the Tools menu

Updated on February 10, 2023

Microsoft introduced the AutoCorrect feature to correct typos, misspelled words, and grammatical errors. You can also use the AutoCorrect tool to insert symbols, auto-text, and several other forms of text. AutoCorrect is set up by default with a list of typical misspellings and symbols, but you can modify the list that AutoCorrect uses and customize it to boost your productivity.

Today we’ll teach you how to edit the AutoCorrect list and settings to make your word processing experience more fluid. Instructions apply to Word 2003 and later.

What the Tool Can Do

Before we move on to the actual customization and editing of the AutoCorrect tool, you will need to understand how the AutoCorrect list works. There are three main things you can use the AutoCorrect tool to do.

  • Corrections

Firstly the tool will automatically detect and correct typos and spelling errors. If, for example, you type «taht,» the AutoCorrect tool will automatically fix it and replace it with «that.» If will also fix typos like «I like tha tcar.» the AutoCorrect tool will also replace it with «I like that car.»

  • Symbol Insertion

Symbols are a great feature included in Microsoft products. The easiest example of how the AutoCorrect tool can be used to easily insert symbols is the Copyright symbol. Simply type «(c)» and press the space-bar. You will notice that it is automatically changed to «©.» If the AutoCorrect list doesn’t contain the symbols you want to insert, just add it using the tips outlined below.

  • Insert Predefined Text

You can also use the AutoCorrect feature to quickly insert any text based on your predefined AutoCorrect settings. If you use certain phrases often it is useful to add custom entries to the AutoCorrect list. For example, you can create an entry that will automatically replace «eposs» with «electronic point of sale system.»

Understanding the AutoCorrect Tool

When you open the AutoCorrect tool, you will see two lists of words. The pane on the left indicates all the words that will be replaced while the pane on the left is where all the corrections are listed. Note that this list will carry through to all other Microsoft programs that support this feature. 

You can add as many entries as you want to boost productivity. You can add things like symbols, words, addresses, sentences, and even complete paragraphs and documents.
