[h=4]To Hide Spelling and Grammar Errors in a Document:
If you're sharing a document such as a resume with someone, you might not want them to see
those annoying red, green, and blue lines. Turning off the automatic spelling and grammar checks
only applies to your computer, so the lines may still show up when someone else views your document. Luckily, you
can hide spelling and grammar errors in a document so that the lines will not show up on any computer.
- From Backstage view, click on Options.
- Select Proofing.
- In the drop-down box next to "Exceptions for:" select the correct document (if you have more than one document open).
- Put a checkmark next to Hide spelling errors in this document only and Hide grammar errors in this document only.
- Click OK.

print it. This lesson covers the tasks in the

In previous versions of Word, there was a Print Preview option that allowed you to see exactly
what the document looked like before printing it. You may have noticed that this feature seems to be
gone in Word 2010. It actually hasn't disappeared; it's just been combined with the Print window to
create the Print pane, which is located in Backstage view.

[h=4]To View the Print Pane:
- Click the File tab to go to Backstage view.

[h=3]Quick PrintThere may be times when you want to print something with a single click, using Quick Print. This feature
prints the document using the default settings and the default printer. In Word 2010, you'll need to
add it to the Quick Access Toolbar in order to use it.
Quick Print always prints the whole document, so if you only want to print part of your document you'll have to use the Print pane.
