WORD should spell check at least as well as GOOGLE
I type a misspelled word: "convered" (which I accidentally added an "n" and
WORD gives be back a list of six words which does not include the word "covered" which is what I really wished to use. When I GOOGLE "convered", the search engine detects immediately that I probably meant "covered" and asks "did you mean covered?". When I used "thourly" in a document and meant to use "thoroughly", WORD suggested only one word - "thorny", which was not what I really wanted. When I searched using GOOGLE and typed in the "word" "thourly", I was prompted with "did you mean thoroughly?". Since WORD is advertised as having a "spell checker" and GOOGLE is "just" a search engine, shouldn't the "spell checker" function work better in WORD than in GOOGLE?

Apples & oranges I'm afraid. Pop |
