why does microsoft include all the features (spell check, etc.) in each application?

Question

this is for homework, i appreciate any serious answers

i also need to know if they are loaded separatly for each program or if they are shared.
( this is my first time working with microsoft)

Answer 1

They share the features to make it easier for users to learn and use their other applications. This way when you switch from Word to Excel the basic ways that they function are similar enough that a newer user can figure out and use the program.

The features are shared. Developers who use Microsoft development tools can even include these features in their own programs.

Answer 2

Just look on here. Look at all the idiots that can't spell or use correct grammar. They include spell check because people need it. Of course a lot of the idiots on here fail to even use it.

It's not in everything though. It's just in things like Office applications - Word, Excel, Outlook (and Outlook Express), etc. All the Office applications share the same spell check. They come bundled together after all.

Answer 3

I can't give you completely positive answer, but I would think that because Microsoft Office products are used in business and the like, it would be included to be professional. Human error is only natural, and spell check helps correct and misspelled words. Think: if you owned a company, would you appreciate the employee who gave you a report riddled with improper grammar and misspelled words? Hope I helped.

Answer 4

Because most people use spell check on different programs especially word and outlook.
Need a techie for question 2

Answer 5

They are shared
see http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP051985301033.aspx

you can also "ignore" a word, that attaches a flag to the word in a document that even if you send it to someone else it "passes" spell check, your name or some technical term would be a good example of something you would use like that

Answer 6

If your pc has a program with spell check, such as ms office, it is shared by any other word processor/spreadsheet type programs.

Answer 7

Your question didn't make much sense. As far as I know, MS doesn't include those features in each app.
