Common Software Commands, Continued
TOOLS feature
In the TOOLS feature are vital commands such as SPELL CHECK and
THESAURUS.
SPELL CHECK: Clicking the SPELL CHECK command produces a
dialogue box asking if the entire document or a portion thereof should run
through SPELL CHECK. SPELL CHECK verifies the spelling of each word
in the document. If it detects an error, SPELL CHECK offers alternate
spellings or words for you to preview. Once you determine the correction,
click to replace that word in the text.
Run every document through the
SPELL CHECK command. SPELL CHECK, however, cannot tell if a word
is incorrectly or correctly used. Continue to manually proofread text before
declaring a job finished.
Figure 8-18 shows a typical SPELL CHECK dialogue box.

THESAURUS: The THESAURUS command offers synonyms to reduce
repeating the same word or words. For individuals with limited vocabularies
that often write text, a thesaurus is invaluable.
