To avoid that distraction, you can turn spell check off, then check spelling manually when you're done writing. Click File Options Proofing, clear the Check spelling as you type box, and click OK. To turn spell check back on, repeat the process and select the Check spelling as you type box. Have you ever been unsure if you spelled a word correctly, and didn't feel like looking it up in a dictionary or even online? The Spell Check app fixes that problem! Just type in a word or even paste in a whole paragraph, and with Windows 8's built-in spell checking system, you can see if you got in right or not.

Microsoft OneNote for Mac helps you detect and fix spelling errors as you type. This can save you time and effort while keeping your notes error-free.

Check spelling and grammar as you type

When you type, OneNote automatically checks for potential spelling errors, and underlines the words you should check with a squiggly red line.

To check a misspelling, control-click the underlined word, and choose the appropriate option.

By default, Word uses red wavy underlines to indicate spelling errors and green wavy underlines to indicate grammatical errors as you type. If those underlines bother you, you can turn off automatic spelling and grammar checking.

To turn off spelling and grammar checking, choose Word→Preferences and click the Spelling and Grammar icon. In the Grammar and Spelling preference pane, deselect the Check Spelling As You Type or Check Grammar As You Type check box to turn off automatic spelling or grammar checking.

If you don’t want to use the automatic spelling or grammar checkers, you can still check the spelling and grammar in a document by choosing Tools→Spelling and Grammar. Word looks through the entire document and displays a dialog when it finds a possible spelling or grammar error.

Grammar And Spell Checker

You don’t have to turn off the wavy red or green underlines to use this dialog. If you prefer, you can just ignore the wavy underlines and choose Tools→Spelling and Grammar whenever you want to check a document’s spelling or grammar.
