Spelling errors are underlined with a red wavy line.
Panel “Spelling” opens to the right of the document, showing the first error found after the cursor position. If it’s a spelling mistake, then the panel is titled Spelling (Spelling). There are three buttons at the top of the panel. To ignore the next found error and move on to the next one, press Skip (Ignore). If you want to ignore all repetitions of this error in this document, click Skip all (Ignore All).

Grammar errors are underlined with a blue wavy line. Panel “Spelling» Helps with correcting grammatical errors. When such an error appears, the “Spelling» changes the title to Grammar (Grammer). Suggested fixes are shown with some helpful comments. In our example, the interpretations of the words “pear” and “pair” are given.
In some cases, you will want to leave grammatical errors as they are, for example, when writing a story whose characters speak incorrectly. If you don’t want to correct a grammatical error, click Skip (Ignore). To accept a suggested fix, select it from the list and click Change (Change). Again, Word will move to the next error it finds in the document.
