Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Proofing
category, use the "Check spelling as you type" and "Mark grammar errors as
you type" options (clearing them to turn off automatic spell check and
checking them to turn it on). And no matter if automatic spell check is on
or off, you can still spell check manually with F7 at any time.

Hi Stefan,
How would I turn on Automatic Spell Check?

I don't think you can instruct Word to look for duplicate words only. But
note that you can have automatic spell check turned off and still check
spelling manually (press F7) as necessary.

Is there a setting that turns on/off spell checking for misspelled
words but
still shows the red squiggly line for duplicate words (it it). I
looked in
Word Options, under proofing and everything seems to be on. THanks!
