When it comes to an important paper, presentation, or letter one recurring task I always spend the most time on is Proofreading. Proofreading in my opinion, is one of the most important tasks you need to do after you have completed a draft in Microsoft Word to catch any errors you have missed. Some of the main tasks include Replace (Ctrl+H), Spelling & Grammar, and autocorrects options. The most difficult task for me to perfect in this chapter was the “AutoCorrect Option”. This task allows you to modify what Word automatically corrects as you type. This can be helpful when you would like to change a specific word or phrase to replace the one you have typed. I recently have used this to change a small phrase into a much larger one that I didn’t want to take a long time writing out. To access AutoCorrect Options, go to the Backstage view and click Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options. Trust me it’s helpful!
