What are the benefits and drawbacks of the spelling and grammar features of the Microsoft Office?

Answer 1

The benefits of the spelling/grammar check in Microsoft Word are that you can make sure your documents go out with proper English and proper grammar. While typing in Word, if the program thinks there is a typographical error or grammatical error, it will place a red squiggly line under the word or punctuation mark.A lot of times, when working with Latin and Spanish words, this feature is not always accurate. If you configure the program for English, it will continuously tell you that you have misspelled words. The internal dictionary also does not recognize names as being spelled correctly. The internal dictionary also does not pick up if you accidentally typed a number in the word.
Some of the words that Word has said were wrong are juris prudence, ad litem, Britny and Speece.
I personally use spell check all of the time by hitting F7 before saving my document and sending it out. I also re-read my written communications in order to check for any words that may have a number floating in it.
