Spelling and Grammar is a great feature to make changes to your text, and it is available in all Microsoft Office applications, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Outlook. It allows the user to correct spellings and pronunciation errors in your document. The type of suggestions displayed when there is an error is:

• When there is a spelling error, it is signified by a red squiggle.
