Hi I'm just exploring word and the pages app and trying to figure out if spell checking and word count is possible?
I have looked everywhere and can't find any option.
Thank you.

Hi Holly,

For Word count:
1. Find the 'View Options', double tap that and then double tap on 'Word Count'.
Note: There are other choices in that menu as well.

For Spell check:
1. Double tap on More > Settings.
2. Enable 'Auto Correct'.
3. Navigate through your document and Auto Correct will do its thing.
Note: Be careful as Auto Correct can sometimes think a correctly spelled word is a misspelling.

HTH.

Is this on both the pages or word app? I'm exploring this in case I need to write a big document or need to edit because my BrailleNote gives me problems so this is back up. Is there a spell checker similar to that? Thank you and I will be following your advice.

I will see what I can find for Word for iOS. Stay tuned.

This is from Google...

Use word count --

  1. Open a document.
  2. Double tap More.
  3. Double tap Word count to see the number of: Words.

Use Spell check --

On an iPad: 1. Go to the Review tab. 2. Double tap Spell Check. 3. Turn on Spelling.

HTH.
