MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

To spell check a single word in Microsoft Word versions 3.x, perform the following steps:


 * 1) Execute the Library Run command.
 * 2) Type Lookup and then the word you want to look up. For example, if you want to check the spelling of “receive” (which you think is spelled “receeve”), execute Library Run and type Lookup Receeve.
 * 3) If you are running Word on two floppy drives, place the Spell disk in Drive A when prompted.

The correct spelling of “receive” will appear on the screen.

The Lookup command is no longer available in Word version 4.00, 5.00 or 5.50 because the ability to spell check a single word is available by highlighting the word and executing the Spell command. In Word 4.00 or 5.00 Spell is accessed from Library Spell. In Word 5.50 Spell is accessed from Utilities Spell (ALT, U, S).
