Thankfully, Office 2011 for Mac can help you fix most spelling errors. Don’t let that make you think you don’t have to do any checking of your own, though, because even Microsoft Word’s advanced grammar checker can’t tell when to use there,they’re, or their.

A red squiggly line under the misspelled word indicates a spelling error. You can rectify such errors by right-clicking the word and then choosing the correct spelling from the resulting contextual menu. With the same procedure, you can also get help with grammar by Control-clicking or right-clicking words with green squiggly lines in Microsoft Word. Office also has AutoCorrect, which fixes spelling errors for you while you type.

Use the Format drop-down menu at the bottom of the Modify dialog to select Language—select the Language you want, and make sure the 'do not check spelling or grammar' box is NOT checked. Click OK to exit the Language dialog, then OK to exit the Modify Style dialog, and either Close or Apply to exit the FormatStyle dialog.
