Spell Check in Word

You have spell checking options to choose from when using Word.  By default in Word 2010, the program is set to not spell check words that are in uppercase.  That means when you type a word incorrectly and it is in all caps, Word will not flag it as incorrect.  If you want Word to recognize uppercase words that may be spelled incorrectly, do the following:

  1. Click FILE.
  2. Click OPTIONS.
  3. Click PROOFING.
  4. Choose what you want Word to ignore or flag.

Aligning Dollar Signs in 68-70

Lesson 68-70 is a block style business letter with a table in the body.  The table lists stationery types and the cost of each. 

When you look at the numbers you will want the dollar signs aligned perfectly.  Turn on your show/hide button to see your spacing, and perform these steps:

1.    Right-align numbers using the right-align button or highlight your numbers and press CTRL+R.
2.    For each number space 2x and for each comma, space 1x.  So, it will need to look like the following graphic.  Since we only have one number longer than the first number we would space 2x between the dollar sign and the 8.



Make sure you center the table horizontally and double space above and below the table in the letter.
