Spell Check options
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the options for spell check so
that it auto-corrects for a formal paper. example: changing don't to do not or can't to cannot. I know that is an options because I have seen other students with it, and they were saying that I don't really have to add it into the auto-correct thing. |

Spell Check options
This is not a spell check feature but comes under grammar checking. You can
set the options for the grammar checker to flag contractions. -- Suzanne S.

No, it will mark the contraction as a possible grammatical error
(squiggly green line), but it won't change it automatically. Ruby Roo wrote: Thank you, but I'm still not able to see the changes.
