Default How do I find and use Word 2007 spellcheck?

There are no menus in Word 2007 (except for the Office button, which
contains the commands of the former File menu plus new things, and the
right-click context menus). Most everything else is on the various tabs of
the ribbon, or can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar.

Spelling check is now on the Review ribbon. You can still use the F7
shortcut as in previous versions.

If you got "the tools menu which supposedly has the spellcheck option" from
a help file or a book, it was referring to Word 2003 or earlier. Whenever
you have a question about where commands from previous versions have
migrated, use the command reference guide at
