"Hi, my name is Dave Andrews, and today I'm going to show you some tips for using Microsoft Word's spell checker. Open up Microsoft Word, and let's type some things that we know have some misspellings in them. As you can see I've made three misspellings in the text that I've shown to you. To launch the - as you can see also the Microsoft Word has underlined in red the messages that it knows are misspelled. So to launch the Microsoft spell checker click on tools, and go to spelling and grammar. The very first one it pulled up was I want to go to school, and we know that's misspelled, as we can see too in its suggestions, the real spelling of school is not available. That's because it was so far from what it should be that we have to actually hint to it what it ought to be. So let's close that out and just type the correct word. Press change. Now for test message, it does actually have a suggestion for what it should be. So I'm going to click change. And Mary had a little lamb, needs to be lamb as well, so I'm going to do change. When you've completed the spell checker, it will tell you the spelling and grammar check is complete. As you can see this is a very easy tool to use. My name is Dave Andrews and I've just shown you some tips for using Microsoft's Spell Checker."
