White Space Between
When in Print Layout view, you control whether there is space between your pages on the
screen. When you place your pointer between the pages, you should get a Show White Space
or Hide White Space pointer, double-click and Word toggles between each option.
Spell Check
Word has automatic Spell Check! Word spell checks your document as you are typing. If
Word detects a spelling error, a red wavy line will appear under the incorrect word. You may
correct the error now or you may wait until you have completed the document.
To correct an incorrect word, place your mouse pointer on the incorrect word and click with
your right mouse button, a shortcut menu will display choices for you. You may correct the
spelling of the word, ignore the spelling (it may be right, however the word is not in Word’s
dictionary), or you may add the word to Word’s dictionary.
If your document is lengthy, you may wish to use Spell Checker to check spelling of the entire
document rather than one word at a time.
With either method of spell checking, it still does not eliminate the need for proofreading! Spell
check only finds misspelled words not words used incorrectly.

document before it is printed which will save you time, ink and paper.
