Thesaurus: This option is exercised to know the synonyms of a particular word and successfully replace a chosen word with a synonym. It is used to find substitutes for a given word. For example: A word namely “merged” can be replaced with compound, fused or others.

Research: It is an option exercised to research the existing text in the document for its proof found at Microsoft Office Online (2007). It is used to review the comments or track changes. Can be cited as pseudo plagiarism software that checks equivalent sentences with others over the internet.

Spell check: It is used to check the spelling mistakes in the drafted document and provides options for correcting them. It is a feature which displays several options for the correct spelling and one can either replace or ignore the suggested options. It is used for getting the words spelled correctly according to US English. For example: If the word “strategies” was written as “stratagies”, using the spell check it was possible to replace it with the correct word.

Grammar check: A feature which evaluates the entire line or a part of the line and suggests the possible best sentence which is alphabetically correct. Ernst (2007) states that it is generally used to replace grammatically incorrect sentences or words with correct ones. For example, if the part of the sentence “Their experiences with outsourcing have been bitter and they are on the lookup for better strategies for managing” was written as “Their experiences with outsourcing have been bitter and they is on the lookup for better strategies for managing”, then using grammar check it can be corrected.
