SpellCheck or Auto-Check in Mac Word?

[Joe Yanulavich]

I'm a Mac newbie after 15 years w/ Windows. I had Mac Office 2004
pre-installed on my OS 10, but I can't find the setting to turn on the
SpellCheck with WORD.
In my Windows Word it highlights mis-spells as I go. Can Mac WORD do
this, or is there SpellCheck? I can't find the setting and any
documentation is packed in a storage unit until my new home is ready.
ANY HELP?..............joe (in his little apt. haha)

Yes, MacWord 2004 also has spellcheck. There's a setting under Word |
Preferences to tell it to check as you go. (in Mac programs, the
Preferences dialog under the application menu is always the first place to
check when you want to change something--most of the stuff the user can
control is there--except in MS programs--you should go through that whole
menu exploring).

If that doesn't work, post back or see my post on a concurrent thread about
dictionary.

Thanks, I have to run off to work right now, but will try both
suggestions during the day and let you know how I did.
Thanks for the MacWord website as well.........joe
