Spellcheck

Spell-check is a feature that can be found in most of the word processing softwares e.g. Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word reads the document your writing and checks for any spelling errors, if there is a spelling error, word will put a red line underneath; Word will then give you options of different words to change it to, or you could ignore the spelling error. If you are sure you have spelt the word correctly, and the red line still comes up underneath the word, you can press ‘Add to Dictionary’ so when you type the word like that again, it won’t come up with a red line.
