Using the Spell Checker
Most of us know how to use the Spell checking features of word but let's briefly review them.  Find a word that has a red wavy line under it.
Right-click on that word.  Chose the correctly spelled word from the list of possible corrections that appear.  That is one way to fix misspelling and typing.
You can also check the entire document at one time by clicking on the Spelling and Grammar button on the Standard toolbar.

Use the spelling and grammar checker to correct errors in this documents and then save it as "Brochure 04 Edited"

Using the Thesaurus
Sometimes when you are creating a document you know there is a better word but you just can't think of it - the built in Thesaurus can help you find the perfect word.
Ok lets get to it: scroll down until you see the paragraph that begins "Contoso also provides"
In the second line right-click on the word "Variety" and point to Synonyms on the menu that appears.  A list of synonyms for Variety appears.
In the list of synonyms, click "Range".  Word replaces the word variety with range.

Using Find and Replace
Press Ctrl+Home to position the insertion point at the beginning of the document.
On the Edit menu, click Find. The Find and Replace dialog box appears.
In the Find What box, type "meetings", and click the Find Next button.  The Word meetings at the beginning of the second paragraph is now selected.
Again in the Find and Replace dialog box, click the Find Next button to move to the next occurrence of the word meetings.
 

Now the word meetings at the end of the second paragraph is selected. Click Find Next again - Word tells you it has found the last, click the OK button to move on.
Now click on the Replace tab.  The word meeting should still be in the find box.  in the replace box type "assemblies".  When ready press the Find button until the second word meetings  is once again selected.  This time in the Find and Replace dialog box click the Replace button.  Now the word assemblies replaces the word meeting.
