Word is actually designed to detect spelling and grammar errors while you type.

That's what these little colorful lines air for.

Blue means that there's some kind of grammatical error in this example.

Word can be pretty good at picking up on errors like this, but there's certain things that set to ignore by default, including sentence fragments, poor sentence structure and other common grammar mistakes.

To include these things in your grammar check, you'll need to adjust the default proofing settings.

To do this, go to the backstage view, click options in the left pane, then navigate to proofing in the dialog box to customize your grammar settings.

Look for writing style near the bottom of the window, then click the settings button to the right and another dialog box will appear.

Here.

You can turn specific items on or off to better suit your needs.

There's still lots of other ways that you can customize your settings, depending on your preferences.

For instance, you can stop word from marking spelling and grammar errors while you type.

If the feature effort gets annoying, you can also turn off frequently confused words like their vs there.

So if you ignore any errors or add a word to your dictionary, for example, your name those colorful lines will reappear when you send the document to someone else.

You can avoid this issue by hiding spelling and grammar errors in this particular document.

Just check the two boxes near the bottom of the window.

If you use this option, you'll still want to make sure there are no actual errors in your document, so you may want to run another spelling and grammar check before sending the document to someone else.

This feature can be really useful as long as you're confident that your document is correct.

It's still a good idea to have someone look over your work just to make sure word hasn't missed anything important.
