Proofing the document

 PROOFING THE DOCUMENT

Word provides two tools to help you with the proofing of the document: Spelling And Grammar and the AutoCorrect feature.

Spelling and Grammar Checking

Word's built-in spell checker works the second you start typing. Word has an internal library consisting of tens of thousands of words, all spelled correctly. When you type a word that doesn't exist in the library, the word that's typed is marked as spelling error. It appears underlined with a red zigzag. A spelling error is displayed in the following figure:

The spelling error can be fixed mainly using two methods:

ORight-clicking on the errorneous word. It gives a list of probable suggestions from the inbuilt dictionary. Clicking on the correct word of your choice replaces the spelling error with the correct one.

1. Click on the Spelling & Grammar button in the Proofing group in the Review tab. This process can be done by pressing F7 as the keyboard shortcut key.

2. When you click on the Spelling & Grammar button, the Spelling and Grammar dialog box appears on the screen with the first misspelled word in the Not in Dictionary: section and the correct suggestions in the Suggestions: section.

3. Choose the correct word from the list and click on Change button on the right side of the dialog box. When all the spelling errors in a sentence are corrected, Word checks for the grammatical errors if any. If it finds some, it gives you the suggestion to correct it.

4. When all the spelling mistakes are removed from the document, following message box appears on the screen.

 Using AutoCorrect

Word 2007's AutoCorrect feature corrects typing and misspellings as they occur. For example, if you accidentally type "teh", Word changes it to "the". The feature saves you time as you're working on your document. It also helps you eliminate errors that you might otherwise miss.

AutoCorrect is also used to apply special formatting. For example, (c) is changed to the copyright symbol (©).

Like many of Word's features, you can customize AutoCorrect. You may want to assign abbreviations to frequently typed names, addresses, or terminology.

To customize AutoCorrect in Word 2007, follow these steps:

1. Click Microsoft Office button Word Options.

Following dialog box appears on your screen.

2. Click Proofing in the left pane of the dialog box.

3. In the AutoCorrect options section in the displayed screen, click on the AutoCorrect Options... button to display the AutoCorrect dialog box.

4. Under the Replace text as you type section, type the abbreviation that you want to replace automatically in the Replace: text box.

5. In the With: text box, type the correct word that you want to be replaced.

6. Click Add to add this replacement text in the list of other words. This is shown in the following figure.

7. Click OK.

Once you have added a word in the list, as soon as KNP is typed in the document and an space is inserted, it is at once replaced by Keoladeo National Park.

 MACROS IN WORD 2007

Macros can be used to automate repetitive tasks to save you time and effort. For example, you may have jumped to the bottom of a document and inserted a picture before saving the document. If you find that you have several more documents that you want to apply this change to, you may find it a great time saver to create a macro to perform these actions automatically.

Creating a macro involves recording your keystrokes so that they can be played over later again and again.

When you're at the point where you can begin recording your actions, go to the View Tab → Macros → Record Macro.

When you click on the Record Macro... option, following dialog box appears on the screen.

Give a suitable name of the macro without spaces. Also click whether you want it assigned to a button (on the Quick Access Toolbar) or the keyboard (to create a shortcut key combination).

To assign a macro to a keyboard shortcut, click Keyboard. It displays the Customized Keyboard dialog box on your screen as shown below.

Press a key combination of your choice. It will automatically be placed in the Press new shortcut key: text box. Remember it must not be assigned for any other purpose before. The current status of the key combination is also displayed.

Click Assign and then click Close. Now, perform the actions that you want to be recorded in the macro. After recording all the actions, click on Macros Stop Recording Macros to complete the process.

To run a Macro from the Keyboard shortcut, simply press the keys that you have programmed to run the Macro.

PRINTING OF DOCUMENTS

Printing is one of the final steps of your word processing process. Printing of a document involves using a printer. So be sure that the printer is turned ON and is properly connected to the computer.

It is always a good practice to preview your final document before printing. Print Preview will display how the document would look if you were to print it on paper, allowing you to check its presentation and layout. To do this Word zooms out just enough to get the whole page in its workspace. Word 2007, like the earlier versions of Word, provides a feature called Print Preview.

To look at the preview of your document prior to printing, click Microsoft Office Button → Print Print Preview. Your document then appears in a special Print Preview mode as shown in the figure below:

You will notice that your mouse pointer changes to a magnifier pointer. If you click on the document area, your document zooms to 100%. If you again click the document area, it reduces to the previous state.

When you are satisfied with the layout, click on the Print button on the Preview toolbar. A Print dialog box pops up on your screen. If you don't wish to see the Print Preview, then this dialog box can be directly brought using CTRL+P as the shortcut key.

The printer name shown in this dialog box depends upon the printer you have. Click OK to print whole document with the default settings of the printer.

By default, it prints only one copy of the complete document. If you wish to have more than one copy to be printed, specify it in the Number of copies: spinner box in the Copies section of the Print dialog box.

If you wish to print only specific pages of your document, then specify those page numbers in Pages: text box in the Page Range section. The page numbers can be distinguished using the comma (,). For example, if you wish to print page numbers 1, 4 and 9 only then it will be specified as shown below in the Page Range section.

To quickly print your document and avoid the Print dialog box, choose Microsoft Office Button Print Quick Print. You will get no visual feedback and no chance to change the settings and the whole document prints with all the default settings set for the printer.
