Word spelling grammar 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.

Choose Editor on the Home tab or press F7 to open the Editor pane.

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.

Move directly from one issue to the next at the top of the Editor pane.

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.

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

Choose a suggestion to incorporate it into your document.

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:

  1. In the Editor pane, choose Settings.
    In the Editor pane, choose Settings.

  2. In the Word Options dialog box, next to Grammar & Refinements, choose Settings.
    In the Word Options dialog box, next to Grammar & Refinements, choose Settings

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
Choose the Help Improve Office? icon 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.

The Editor context menu gives you several options for the current suggestion.

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.

Choose Set Proofing Language from the Language menu on the Review tab.

When Editor is checking more than one language, the Editor pane lists corrections and refinements for each language in the document. 

Corrections and refinements are listed per language in the Editor pane.

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.

Your browser does not support video. Install Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flash Player, or Internet Explorer 9.

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.

  1. On the Review tab, select Check Document.

    Showing Check Document under Review tab

  2. The Editor pane categorizes spelling, grammar, and stylistic issues.

    Showing Overview of proofing issues

  3. 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) .

  1. In the Editor pane, click Settings.

  2. Under When correcting spelling and grammar in Word, select Settings

  3. For Writing Style, select Grammar & Refinements .

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. 

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

Turn on (or off) automatic spelling and grammar checking

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

  2. In the Spelling & Grammar dialog box, under Spelling, check or clear the Check spelling as you type box.

    To skip the error, do one of the following:

    • Click Ignore Once to skip only that instance of the error.

    • Click Ignore All to skip all instances of the error.

    • 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  1. Open the document that needs to be checked.

  2. On the Tools menu, point to Spelling and Grammar, and then click Reset Ignored Words and Grammar.

    To clear the lists of words and grammar that Word ignores, click Reset Ignored Words and Grammar.

  3. Click Yes to proceed.

  4. Click the Review tab, and then click Spelling & Grammar to check spelling and grammar.

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

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 Office to mark potential errors with squiggly lines while you are working, you can turn automatic spelling and grammar checking off:

  1. On the File menu, click Options, and then click Proofing.

  2. Select or clear the Check spelling as you type and Mark grammar errors as you type check boxes.

    The Check Spelling As You Type check box

    Note: You can turn the spelling checker on or off for the document you’re 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 Word to check grammar at all (either when running a spell check or automatically as you type), you can turn it off:

  1. On the File menu, click Options, and then click Proofing.

  2. Clear the Mark grammar errors as you type and Check grammar with spelling check boxes.
