Where Word most often gets into trouble is through trying to be all things
to all people. I don't imagine, however, that the Word developers will ever
so far lose sight of the primary functions of Word as to incorporate
features that make it a spelling tutor.

Suzanne,

I think you miss the point of my suggestion and maybe I confused it by
going
into the whole €œTyping Practice€� thing. That was really an afterthought.

It would be a feature, if enabled, which would allow the creation of a
list
of words that the user can study. This feature would be useful for anyone
to
continue to enhance their vocabulary and more specifically for students
who
need to work on spelling. The Word application as it is does a fine job
of
auto correcting and a superb job of offering suggested corrections.

Thank you for your feed back.

Word is not a typing application. Word does make it easier to work
around
common typos, however. When you right-click on a word marked as
misspelled,
instead of selecting the correct spelling, you can click on AutoCorrect
and
choose the correct spelling. From then on, whenever you type, for
example,
"sotre" (one of my bugaboos), you'll get "store" automatically.
