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.

-
Internet connection: Make sure your connection is working.

Intelligent Services switched on: Go to File > Options > General and turn on Office Intelligence Services.

If spelling or grammatical errors aren’t underlined, you might need to turn on automatic spelling and grammar checking, as follows.

On the Word menu, click Preferences > Spelling & Grammar.

-

-
For a grammatical error, click Next Sentence to skip that instance of the error and move to the next error.
To skip a misspelled word in all documents, click Add to add it to the dictionary. This only works for spelling. You can’t add custom grammar to the dictionary.
-
-
After you correct, ignore, or skip an issue, Word moves to the next one. When Word finishes reviewing the document, you’ll see a message that the spelling and grammar check is complete.
-
Click OK to return to your document.
You can clear or reset the list of Ignored Words and Grammar so Word will check for spelling and grammar issues you previously told it to ignore.
Note: When you reset the list of Ignored Words and Grammar, the list is cleared only for the currently open document. Any spelling or grammar issues you told Word to ignore in other documents won’t be affected.
-
Open the document that needs to be checked.

Right-click on the underlined word or phrase and choose a correction, or ignore the suggestion.
Note: If Word is flagging words as misspelled but you have it spelled the way you want it, select Add to Dictionary to teach Word 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 Word to check grammar at all (either when running a spell check or automatically as you type), you can turn it off:
-
On the File menu, click Options, and then click Proofing.
-
Clear the Mark grammar errors as you type and Check grammar with spelling check boxes.
-
On the File menu, click Options > Proofing> Recheck Document.
-
Click Yes when you see the warning message about resetting the spelling and grammar checker.

Writer’s online grammar check FAQ
- Real talk. Is Writer (or Grammarly, or any premium grammar checker) worth the money?
- Good-enough grammar and spelling checkers are built into most word processors today, whether it’s Microsoft Word’s Editor or Google’s home-grown system. Tools like Writer and Grammarly allow you to take these grammar systems with you outside of these editing tools, anywhere you write, whether you’re composing a tweet, an email or an iMessage.
- If you write for work, a complete writing AI assistant like Writer will also help you make sure you are using the right tone, writing style and terminology for your audience.
- How does the Writer grammar checker beat Grammarly’s?
- Most grammar checkers use rules to identify English writing errors and suggest corrections. This works well when the problem isn’t contextual, ie, a rule that says, anytime someone types teh they actually meant the. However, the vast majority of errors we would want to catch are contextual. There are relatively few always-true, easy rules that can be programmed. Even with an army of linguists, you just couldn’t cover all the possible English grammatical errors. There are too many ways for the English language to work, so a mostly valid rule could break in some contexts.
- That’s why Writer uses techniques from artificial intelligence, such as deep learning. Deep learning systems start out with the capacity to learn, and then are trained to recognize patterns by being shown many examples. For example, we teach the Writer deep learning grammar error correction system to correct subject/verb agreement by showing it many examples of subjects and verbs. We might show it Writer’s AI writing assistant helps everyone at your company write with the same style, terminology, and brand voice and tell the model that this is a good sentence. Then, we would change the verb «write» to the incorrect «writes»: Writer’s AI writing assistant helps everyone at your company writes with the same style, terminology, and brand voice and tell the model that this is a bad sentence. Writes should be write. We do this millions and millions of times, and the model learns. It doesn’t just memorize examples, but gets a «feel» for things. And at Writer, we are very careful about the training data we feed our model, because good data helps the model generalize well.
- The ability to generalize is a real differentiator between grammar error correction systems, including Writer and Grammarly’s. Our data is the only data set built specifically for the writing that matters most — the writing that happens at work.
- How does Writer compare to other writing assistants?
Like many writing assistants, Writer is a comprehensive grammar and spell checker. However, unlike most writing assistants, Writer provides some unique features for stronger, better writing:
- It works everywhere: A browser extension, Word plug-in and Google Document add-on so that you can take Writer with you everywhere you write on the web. Yes, Writer has a great web editor too, when you want a full-screen, distraction-free editing experience.
- Artificial intelligence: More content coming here from the answer above.
- Built for professional use: Writer is built for the writing we do at work. You don’t talk to your boss the way you do your best friend, and Writer understands that. You can also use Writer with a team, making it easy to share a writing style or set of preferred terminology with a group of people.
- More content checks than any other writing assistant: In addition to AI grammar and spelling checks, Writer checks your content for:
- Clarity
- Readability
- Approachability
- Conciseness
- Writing style
- Terminology
- Tone
- Brand voice
- Uniqueness
- Bias
- Why is Writer the preferred Grammarly alternative for professionals?
Professional users need an AI writing assistant that provides consistently excellent corrections and suggestions everywhere they write online. Writer achieves that for professional writers by providing the following features:
- Grammar AI that understands some rules are meant to be broken: You have a style and we get that. Not all grammar rules are meant to be followed. Writer’s false-flag rate is lower than any other tool, because the underlying machine learning models are trained on data from people writing at work — not students or people just starting to learn English.
- Brand voice guidelines: Customize Writer’s voice suggestions to suit you. Are you formal, but approachable? Or friendly and casual? Make sure everything you write is aligned with your brand voice preferences.
- Customizable content styleguide: Your editorial guidelines should be your own. From date formats to punctuation use to capitalization preferences, select your own, and then share them with a team. Writer is the most customizable writing assistant available, and the choice of professional writers.

How do I know if my grammar is correct?
If you notice an underlined spelling mistake, grammar suggestion, or style recommendation in your text, you can click on the suggested corrections to apply them. The grammar corrector will automatically proofread the text again to make sure it’s in the best shape for sharing.
