Introduction

The Grammar and Spelling Plug-in Modules on the enclosed MW0551 disk are for use with Microsoft Word for the Macintosh version 5.0. They correct problems that were discovered with the Word version 5.0 Grammar and Spelling commands. In addition, the Spelling module includes several improvements.

Installing the Grammar and Spelling Plug-in Modules

1. If you are working in Word, save your documents, and then quit Word.

2. Copy the new Grammar and Spelling files from the enclosed MW0551 disk to the Word Commands folder on your hard disk. The Word Commands folder is usually stored in the same folder as Word.

3. If you are prompted to replace existing files, choose the OK button.

4. Restart Word.

Grammar and Spelling Improvements

The new grammar module corrects problems that sometimes cause Word to quit unexpectedly when running on the Macintosh Plus, SE, Classic, Portable, and PowerBook 100 models.

Changes were made to the Spelling command in three areas:

1. More feedback is provided on the progress of a spelling check.

       -  When you choose the Spelling command, the message "Loading
          Spelling Dictionaries" immediately appears on the screen to
          signal that Word has begun to check spelling.
   

       -  You can cancel a spelling check at any time by pressing
          COMMAND+PERIOD (.) or by pressing ESC.
   

       -  In large documents, when Word is searching for the next
          misspelled Word, the percentage of the spelling check that has
          been completed is indicated in the lower-left corner of the
          document window.
   

2. The editing of large custom dictionaries is faster.

       -  Editing a custom dictionary is much faster, and there is less
          delay when you close the Spelling dialog box after you have
          added words to a custom dictionary.
   

3. The handling of "ignored" words has been improved.

       -  The Ignore All button now causes Word to ignore words for the
          entire Word session. That is, when you choose the Ignore All
          button, all instances of the selected word are ignored during
          the current spelling check and any other spelling checks you
          conduct until you quit Word.
   

       -  A new button, Reset "Ignore All" List, has been added to the
          Spelling category of the Preferences command (Tools menu). When
          you choose this button, the Spelling command no longer ignores
          the words you have chosen with the Ignore All button in the
          Spelling dialog box.
