There is no doubt that one of the main functions for which we use our computer is the creation and management of documents, both professionally and personally. In addition, once created, we can share them with our contacts in a simple way, through different applications..
Microsoft Word 2019 is one of the most used office applications for all types of work with text and on a daily basis we can write hundreds of words with different fonts , formats, etc., but something that happens to all of us or at least 99.9% of us Word users, is that when typing at a medium or fast speed, we can make mistakes in certain words (missing or adding letters, grammatical errors, etc.). This is important, since all of us want that all those documents that we make, meet the correct grammar rules.
To avoid this, Microsoft integrates into its application a spell checker with which errors become a thing of the past and TechnoWikis will explain how to activate it in Word 2019..
