Advertisement When you first open Microsoft Word, you can start creating documents immediately. The application offers many built-in features and default settings to help you produce the exact type of the document, whether or a paper for school. You see helpful tabs, buttons, and toolbars. And behind the scenes, Word takes care of spelling, grammar, other corrections for you. Open a new document, click on the Home tab, click on the Font dialog box button as shown in the screenshot below, and select the Font tab. Choose the font settings that you would like to make the default and click Set As Default. Select All documents based on the Normal.dotm template? And click OK to update the default for all new documents. Most people just start typing and don’t think about these tools. But you can improve your experience with the application by just taking a few minutes to adjust these settings. The Spelling, Grammar, and Proofing Settings Changing the way that Word handles your spelling and grammar is a great first start to customize the application to fit your needs. These types of settings come in handy for making sure you aren’t misspelling words or using incorrect grammar. But they can also be distracting in some cases. For instance, you may work for a company that uses all uppercase letters in the name or has a name that’s a word and number combination. You can adjust the settings for these types of situations so that you don’t continually Microsoft Word tends to underline words that aren't even errors. Here's how to stop that from happening. When creating your documents. Open Word on your Windows computer to any document. Select File from the menu, click Options, and then pick Proofing. You will see all your options for correcting spelling and grammar. Some apply to all Microsoft Office programs you have, while others apply just to Word. Open Word on your Mac with any document. Select Word from the menu bar, pick Preferencs, and then click Spelling & Grammar. You will see a slew of settings listed under both Spelling and Grammar. Using our above example for the company name, you can mark the checkboxes to ignore words in uppercase and ignore words with numbers, on both platforms. You can also enable or disable settings for checking spelling or grammar as you type, flagging repeated words, and ignoring internet and file path addresses. Take your time to read through each setting for those you really want to use and those you prefer not to use. Also, if you click the Settings button, you can enable or disable many additional grammar settings such as capitalization, comma usage, slang, and redundancy. This is also a helpful area to review the settings which are right for you. In Windows, the button is in the When correcting spelling and grammar in Word section and on Mac, it’s under Grammar. The AutoCorrect Settings Like the spelling and grammar options, the AutoCorrect feature is there to help you avoid errors in your documents. But as we’ve seen many times, AutoCorrect isn’t always that correct when it comes to what we really try to say. If your company name happens to begin with two capital letters, it will be automatically corrected to just the first letter as a capital by default. This, like our other examples with your company name, can get distracting and even aggravating when creating documents. On the other hand, you may want specific things corrected for you. For instance, capitalizing the names of days of the week and the first letters of sentences is convenient. Here’s how to adjust those settings in both Windows and Mac. In Word on Windows, select File from the menu, click Options, and then pick Proofing. Click the AutoCorrect button at the top of the window. In Word on Mac, select Word from the menu bar, pick Preferences, and then choose AutoCorrect. In the pop-up window, you can enable or disable the above types of AutoCorrect options with the click of a checkbox. You can also create exceptions to the rules you have in place by clicking the Exceptions button. This is the perfect place to set up that company name with two capital letters because Word will ignore that as an error moving forward. Click Exceptions and then the Initial Caps tab. Enter the word that you want Microsoft Word to ignore that contains two capital letters at the beginning. You can also review the First Letter tab for built-in exceptions to the rules and add more in the Other Corrections tab. Click OK when you finish. Back on the main AutoCorrect screen, the bottom of the window lets you review existing replacements and add your own.
