Show mistakes in word

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.

Word marks spelling, grammar, and stylistic issues with an underline. Control-click the word or phrase and choose one of the options.

If Word incorrectly underlined a word as misspelled and you want to add that word to your dictionary so that Word will properly recognize it in the future, see Add or edit words in a spell check dictionary.

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.

Spelling, Grammar, Refinements, Clarity & Conciseness, Inclusive Language, Punctuation Conventions, Vocabulary Choices and many more to show up. These are all mistakes that we make usually when we work in a Word Document. How do we solve them though for our Document to be efficient and error free? Well, luckily this is where the Microsoft Word Editor comes along. Just continue to read the post below to find out how the Editor task pane works in Microsoft Word.

We must select the Review tab and then from the far left of the ribbon we located the area named Proofing as shown in the image below.

Once we locate the Proofing area of the Review tab, we select the command Check Document as shown below, where we are notified that we Can Check For Spelling, Grammar and Writing Issues.

Once we select the Check Document command, at the right of our window the Editor Task Pane appears. In my example below, the Editor task pane shows 8 (eight) Results. We have two main categories that appear that have to do with our Document.

First, we have the Category Corrections: The Corrections category is separate in two subcategories. The Spelling, which at the right we notice the Check Mark, meaning that there are no Spelling Issues in our Document. The Grammar subcategory, where at the left we see the number 6 (Six), meaning that we have 6 Grammar Mistakes in our Document.

Secondly, we have the Refinements category: The Refinements category is separated in 4 (Four) different subcategories. The Clarity and Conciseness subcategory, where at the left we see the number 2 (two), meaning that we have 2 Clarity & Conciseness errors in our Document. The Inclusive Language, the Punctuation Conventions, and the Vocabulary Choice which all have the check mark at the right, meaning that we have no mistakes.

Wherever there is a check mark, meaning that we have no errors in our Document, we do not need to take any actions. Wherever there is a number located at the left of each subcategory, meaning that we have errors in our Document, we need to select that subcategory in order to take action. The Editor task pane will navigate us at that Error in our Document and will give us a suggestion in order for us to correct it.

In the middle of the Editor task pane, we can see where our mistake is, and right below we have the Suggestion in what to change the Mistake To.

In the next image, I have selected the subcategory Clarity and Conciseness, where the Editor task pane, navigates us to the mistake. Right below, we have the Suggestion, mentioning Consider Using Concise Language and underneath we have the Suggestion in what to change the Mistake To.

At the bottom of the Editor task pane, we have the options to Ignore Once the mistake by pressing on the command, or the option Don’t Check For This Issue, so we can just ignore the mistake for this occurrence. At the end, we have the Settings command, where if we select it, the Grammar Settings dialog box will appear where we can activate or deactivate commands.
