Sam works as an Office Assistant for SoftWorld Inc. All computers in the company have Microsoft
Office 2010 installed. Sam is assigned with the task of creating a document. Sam often misspells the
word create as cretae. He wants Microsoft Word to automatically check the word and correct it.
Which of the following features will he use to accomplish the task?

A.
AutoFormat

B.
AutoCheck

C.
Spelling & Grammar

D.
AutoCorrect

Explanation:
Sam will use the AutoCorrect feature of Microsoft Word to automatically correct the misspelled
word. AutoCorrect is a feature that is used to correct misspelled words automatically as they are
typed. For example, if ‘whta’ is typed instead of ‘what’, then it gets corrected automatically when the
spacebar is pressed after it. The AutoCorrect feature is also used to correct typographical errors,
grammatical mistakes, and wrong capitalization. Common mistakes and their corrections are stored
as AutoCorrect entries.
Answer A is incorrect. AutoFormat is a feature of MS Word that allows texts to be formatted
automatically while a user is typing. By using AutoFormat, a document can be formatted in many
ways as a user types in it. For example, straight quotes can be replaced with smart quotes; bullets or
numbers can be used automatically; network paths can be configured automatically; headings, lists,
border, and symbols can be formatted automatically, and many more formatting can be done by
using AutoFormat. By default, AutoFormat is on when MS Word is opened to be used. It can be
turned off if a user does not require using it.
Answer B is incorrect. There is no such tool as AutoCheck in Microsoft Word.
Answer C is incorrect. The Spelling & Grammar feature of Microsoft Word is used to check the
spelling and grammar of a document.
