By default, when you type a word, sentence and paragraph even it has a wrong spelling and grammar, still it does not display red curved-underline.

So how to enable the spell check and to display error-underline as you type?

Microsoft Office​
packed with powerful feature including spell and grammar check. Though ​
spelling and grammar​
checking it is not 100% accurate but it has the ability to learn. You can add some ​
spelling words​
in the Word's database.​

To be simple and straighforward, setting up to enable spell check is very easy.​

HOW TO: Enable Spell Check on Microsoft Word​

1. Open your Microsoft Word​
(I used version 2007 here)​
2. Click the ​
Office​
logo found at the top-left of the interface.​
3. Find ​
Word Options​
, it shows below the pop-up window.​

​

4. In Word Options configuration, in the left pane, choose Proofing.​
5. Here, you must check the following:​
  • Check Spelling as you type
  • Use contextual spelling
  • Mark grammar errors as you type
  • Check grammar with spelling
In writing style:

If you want grammar only to check, choose grammar only. But for quite valid reason, I would suggest set it to Grammar and Style.
