When doing the spelling and grammar check, it doesn't correct small i?
Generally, spellcheck is more reliable than grammar check in Word. However, when I'm running a manual spellcheck with F7 in Word 2019, the spellchecker certainly flags an error for "i" (see screen shot).
Are you sure that the language is correctly set in your text? See http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/MasterSpellCheck.htm.
- Bhupinder1Aug 03, 2021Copper ContributorHave you copied the text to word? I've attached my document to my reply to Nikolino.

Hello Bhupinder1 ,
I opened your document and the only time I can replicate your issue is when I have the box with "Do not check spelling or grammar" ticked. I appologize for asking the obvious - but can you please check whether this box is (or not) checked when you double click the language option on your status bar?
Thank you. L.
- Bhupinder1Aug 08, 2021Copper ContributorI've tried both checked and unchecked for spelling or grammar. Language is set correctly, otherwise it wouldn't detect the other words such as i'm. The main problem is with the punctuations and "i".

Thanks for the sample document. When I open your document, the text is not identified as misspelled. However, if I paste the content, as plain text, into a new, blank document and spellcheck it, then the errors are found. See screen shot below.
This suggests some sort of formatting issue with the original document text, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause (yet).
- Bhupinder1Aug 04, 2021Copper ContributorStill not working! Very frustrating. I even tried in Google Documents and it also can't detect i!
