Check spelling

Important  The spelling checker doesn't check the subject line of your message.

  1. After (or while) you compose a message, click in the body of the message.
  2. On the toolbar, click Spelling Button image. If the spelling checker finds a word that isn't in the dictionary, it highlights the word and presents you with options for correcting the error.
  3. In the Spelling dialog box, select the appropriate option.

    4. Tip  To stop the spelling checker and return to the message, click Close.

To automatically check the spelling of each message before you send it

  1. In the Navigation Pane, click Options.
  2. Under Spelling Options, select the Always check spelling before sending check box.
  3. Click Save and Close.

Note  The spelling checker is available only to licensed users of Microsoft Office Outlook Web Access, which provides the spelling-checker technology. For more details and information about the providers of the spelling-checker technology, see About Outlook Web Access.
