Below are the different methods of spell checking a document in some of the major text editors.

Spell check in Microsoft Word, FrontPage, and Outlook users

All versions of Microsoft Word can spell check a document. To spell check a document, follow the steps below.

Free Online Spell Check & Grammar Check Spell check English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and US English medical. SSL encrypted. Our spell check includes a word counter, character counter, Twitter posting, and printing. Corrects your homework, essays, email. Grammar check includes capitalization, punctuation, proper nouns. There is no spell checker in WordPad. With a web search you might be able to find a third-party spell checker that will work with it, but I have no experience with any of these and won't recommend one. You should also note that WordPad is more a glorified text editor than a real word processor. Occasionally you need to check spelling in an application that does not include a spelling checker and you don't want to launch your word processor just for that. This is when tinySpell becomes handy. It is a small utility that allows you to easily and quickly check and correct the spelling.

1. Open Microsoft Word, FrontPage, or Outlook, and the document or file you want to edit.
2. Press the F7 key.

1. Open Microsoft Word, FrontPage, or Outlook, and the document you want to edit.

3. Click Spelling and Grammar

Following the above steps start a spell check on the document you're viewing. Each found spelling error gives options to changed the word to one of the available suggestions. If the word is spelled correctly, Ignore the word. If the word is misspelled and you believe that this spelling error is made throughout your document, Change All. Or, if you want to change the word to an alternate spelling, click one of the suggestions from the suggestion list and click Change.

New versions of Microsoft products also automatically underline any misspelled word in a red squiggly underline, similar to what is shown in the picture. To correct these misspelled words, right-click the word and choose the properly spelled word.
