Okay, so the red squiggle is there to help you when you’ve typed a word that’s not in the dictionary. And the green squiggle is there to catch grammatical errors. But, Contextual Spelling is pretty good at telling you when you’ve typed in a word that probably is not what you intended, based on the context.

Example: I don’t want to loose it. The correct word is lose, not loose. Word will now let you know with a blue squiggle line when you make a contextual spelling mistake.

It may not be turned on by default (depends on how much memory you have), so to turn it on, go to the one and only menu button, and select Word options (bottom right). From the menu on the right, select "Proofing". Under "When correcting spelling and grammar in Word" is the "Use contextual spelling" choice.

Enjoy!
