Yes, if you have that option checked, then Word will keep trying to offer suggestions as you type, regarding spelling and grammar; I find that a bitof a pain and so don't have it enabled. Like I said, I'm still with Word2000, but would have thought you'd have similar tools menus in XP, though they might be called something different!

I don't see auto correct tab in tools/options, but I'm using office XP and also I noticed that there is an option "spellcheck as you type". Does this mean that word will only hilight the misspelled entries or try to correct them? This was unchecked though anyway.

This is in Word2000!

When I use spellchecker, even though I know for sure that there are misspelled words, every time I use it I just get a message that spell and grama check is complete. Does anyone have any idea why would this be happening? Also, as far as I understand thee's a setting in word that makes word automaticly correct misspelled words while you're typing. Where can this be turned off?
