Outlook 2010 Spell Checker AutoCorrect Issue

I have a senior executive who is running Office Professional 2010 Plus (32-bit) on Windows 7 Enterprise. His Outlook spell checker has been working fine up to very recently (not sure of the exact date of his issue).
AutoCorrect is turned on in Outlook.
When he types an E-mail, if a word is typed incorrectly, Outlook will not flag it with the red curly lines until he presses the Enter button one time. From that point forward, incorrect words will be marked once he presses the spacebar. No correction
occurs until the Enter button is pressed one time.
I ran a repair on Office on his machine and disabled then re-enabled "Check Spelling as you type."
Can anyone advise what is wrong .. that the user must press the Enter key one time to start the spell checker. It is not doing it on either of my 2 machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Compare the AutoCorrect setting from the File > Options > Mail > Spelling and AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options, is there any difference between yours and the following one?

Spell Check is not working in MS Office 2007

Hi All,
Spell Check option is not working in MS Office 2007 applications like Word and Outlook.
Surprisingly, when we reply to any email, spell check is working fine, but when we are typing New email, Spell Check is not working.

Could anyone help us on this issue.
Thanks.

Enable OWA 2010 Spell Check On As Default?

The default setting for the Outlook Web App for Exchange 2010 is off and if users want spell check in OWA, they have to go into Options and find the check box to enable it.
We would like to set the OWA spell check default to be enabled, so that the users only have to go into the options if they want to turn it off.
How can we set the default setting to be spell check enabled for OWA 2010?

We need to get Windows 8.1 Pro licenses for every computer (to join them to the domain), but we would not need to purchase a separate volume license for every computer.
My understanding is that we only need a single 8.1 Pro volume license to obtain the Volume license media and activation key and then we can apply that to all the computers in our organization that are already otherwise licensed to have the version of the
OS.
We only need Volume licensing for the purpose of reimaging so we won't have to deal with manually entering a different retail key on every system and manually activating each one.
It appears we could use the $100 Pro Pack to upgrade each system from Bing to Pro, but the Pro Pack upgrade would then be tied to the OEM license which is tied to the hardware, so you lose the licenses if the computers are replaced. However, I think
if we buy the full $199 Windows 8.1 retail media for each system, we could reuse the license in the future if we replace these systems due to damage or loss

How to troubleshoot issues that Spell Check is not working in Outlook 2013

When composing a new message in Outlook 2013, we may notice that Spell Checker does not recognize misspelled words. When we enter a completely garbage word in Outlook, it won’t be marked as misspelled with a red wave underline. When encountering such issue,
we may follow the troubleshooting guide below to correct it.
1. Make sure you are not typing in the signature area.
Outlook doesn't perform a spell check in the signature area, so if this is the case, spell check won’t work. To confirm if you are typing in the signature area, right click in the area you are typing, if you see a menu listed all you signatures instead of
the normal context menu, then you are not typing in the email body.
If you want spell check work in signature area, use Quick Parts instead of Signature. For more information, see
Quick Parts.
2. Check the Set Proofing Language option.
In Outlook, click New Email to open a new message, click
REVIEW tab > Language > Set Proofing Language, a dialog titled
Language will open.
Please first make sure English (United States) is shown above the double line. If not,
you must enable the language for it to be available to check spelling.
Second, make sure “Do not check spelling or grammar” check box is not selected.
Note: If this method fixes the problem, repeat steps 1 through 3 to reopen to the
Language dialog box, and then click Set As Default.
3. Enable Check spelling as you type.
To enable the option in Outlook, go to File > Options > Mail, click Spelling and Autocorrect button. In the Editor Options dialog, select the check box labelled “Check spelling as you type”.
4. Make sure that you are not using a standalone version of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook.
The “Check spelling as you type” feature doesn’t work when using a standalone installation of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook. However, the manual spell check always works. In this scenario, we can set Outlook to
always check spelling before sending. To do this, go to File > Options > Mail, select the check box before “Always check spelling before sending” in the Compose message section.
5. A registry key exists overriding the spell checker
To remove the registry key, please follow these:
Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you
back up the registry before you modify it.
a. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command.
b. In the Run box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
c. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override
d. Delete or rename the subkey.
e. Exit Registry Editor. Restart Outlook.
6. Recreate the NormalEmail.dotm and Normal.dotm template
If the two templates above are corrupt, this issue may also happen. To fix it, please browse to:
drive:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Rename the two templates, then restart Outlook to see the result.
7. Problematic add-in
Add-ins may cause various issues in Outlook, so if you have tried all the suggestions and still no luck, try starting Outlook in safe mode to see if a problematic add-in is the culprit. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run
command, then type outlook /safe and press Enter. If the problem disappeared in safe mode, then go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons.<br />
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected.<br />
<br />
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.<br />
Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick.<br />
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.<br />

IE10 Spell Check on Infopath 2010 Browser Enabled Forms

We are rolling out some new InfoPath browser enabled forms in SharePoint 2010. We are hoping to use the Internet Explorer 10 spell check functionality, as I know the InfoPath spell check functionality isn't available in browser enabled forms.
What we've found is that IE10 spell check functionality appears to only work in Rich Text multiline boxes. Single Line or Plain Text multi-line text boxes don't support the spell check, which is causing some frustration.
I found this page that outlines how IE10's spell check engine works:
http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/SpellChecking/
It specifies that: "Spellchecking is active by default on <textarea> and
contenteditable elements, and off by default for text boxes. Web developers can override the defaults using the <tt>spellcheck</tt> attribute."
I assume this means that it doesn't interpret the single line and plain text controls as textarea or contentditable elements.
So, any idea how to set the spellcheck attribute in InfoPath, or otherwise force this? Thanks!

Hi,
I understand that you want to enable spelling check in InfoPath browser enabled forms. You can add a Content Editor Web Part in your NewForm.
1. Right click the Add new item link in your list/library
2. Copy the URL and open it in a new tab
3. Add a Content Editor Web Part and add below JS code:
<script language="javascript" src="/_layouts/1033/SpellCheckEntirePage.js?rev=zYQ05cOj5Dk74UkTZzEIRw%3D%3D" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function CheckSpelling()
SpellCheckEntirePage('/_vti_bin/SpellCheck.asmx', '/_layouts/SpellChecker.aspx');
</script>
<a onclick="CheckSpelling();" href="javascript:"><img alt="Spell Check" src="_layouts/1033/images/RTE2SPCHK.GIF" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px"/></a>
4. When you click Add new item link, you can see a spell check button in your page.
Thanks,
Kenon Yin

Outlook Express spell check language?

After not using OutlookEexp. for a while, I now find that the language in spell check if French? How do I change to English ? TY

Satellite P35-S6053
..has office 2007
Somehow someone??? changed the spell check langauge to french ?
Nobody did it. Office 2007 is the culprit.
Outlook Express has no spell checker of its own. Rather, it uses whatever it can find. When Office 2007 was installed, most of the spell checking files were replaced with versions incompatible with Outlook Express.
   You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you in...
Turns out that French still works.
Downloading a free spell checker is the simplest way around this.
Vampirefo is a popular solution.
   From Major Geeks
   From SnapFiles
Or you may like tinySpell, which checks the spelling as you type.
If you have a previous version of Office handy, see Office 2007 and OE Spell Check.

Spell checker quirky running Outlook mail with Firefox, works fine when running Windows

Using Firefox with Outlook mail. Spell checker misses many obvious typos and misspellings. After correcting an error or two with spell checker underlining of remaining uncorrected errors disappears.
Spell checker works properly when using Windows with Outlook mail.

I'm not using the MS mail service very much these days as there have been too often issues in Firefox that took too long to get fixed by MS, so I hadn't noticed these issues, but with checking it out I can see the same happen if there are multiple errors marked.

Outlook 2013 spell check

outlook 2013 spell check just does't work

Hello,
Please first make sure that you are not typing in the signature field, the spell check won't conduct when you are typing in the signature field.
If you are in the normal email body field, please click File > Options > Mail > Editor Options button > AutoCorrect Options button, make sure that the settings are set properly.
Also make sure you have checked the box labelled "Check spelling as you type" under File > Options > Mail > Editor Options button > Section "When correcting spelling in Outlook".
If above doesn't applies, exit Outlook, then try to find the NormalEmail.dotm template and rename it to
NormalEmail.old. Restart Outlook to check the result. By default, the
NormalEmail.dotm file is in:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Please let me know the result.

Lync 2010 Spell Check

Hi
Is there a way to get spell checking working with Lync 2010 without having to set up third party software? I have Office 2010 installed and I did read somewhere that if you download and install Office 2013 proofing tools it should work, but it hasn't.
Any help would be great
Thanks
EverJay

Check out Matt Landis' write up here. If you don't want 3rd party, basically the only other option is to run Windows 8

The help section says I have to have MicroSoft Office installed ????

I am aware of 2 spell check apps that you can use in OS 9 - Spell Tools & Excalibur. I used Spell Tools beginning with OS 8. I never used Excalibur. Spell Tools no longer is available for download, but if you send me an email (click on my Apple Name), I'll send you the installer. Excalibur can be downloaded from the link below.

Outlook for Mac does a poor spell check - is there a fix?

is there a way to get Outlook for Mac to do a better job of spell check and grammar check?

Unh - you know, I've been using Outlook for over a year now and never noticed the GRAMMAR checking - maybe I'll have to give it a shot.
Never had the opportunity to check out the capitalized state spelling - I do know that there's a bug (don't know if it was fixed in this weeks update or not) when using contractions in plain text.
I'll have to try out that grammar check sometime. I'm usually so informal in my email messages - like here - that I know that I overuse dashes, ellipses, etc.
Thanks for telling me something I didn't know!

Outlook 2007 Reply or Forward Spell Check Not Working

When I reply or forward an existing email message, using Outlook 2007, it will not spell check my reply (new) message.
One suggestion was to open the dropdown ABC Spelling, select "Set Language" then uncheck "Do not check spelling or grammar" This works one-time only.
I even set it as Default, but it will not hold as default. I'm getting frustrated that I have to use this trick every time I reply or forward an email message.

2010 Publishing Site - Disable automatic spell check

We have a 2010 publishing site.. and evertime you publsih a page it does an automatic spell check. Can this be disabled?
I found how to disable spell check on lists but I need to stop the auto check on page publish.
Thanks!
sayitfast

I also experienced this issue.
So i tried uncommenting the registerSpellingHandler() line in the Spellcheck.js files like suggested by sayitfast. This worked for me in my dev environment. But i didn't like messing around with the default SharePoint files under the 15 hive in the prod
environment.
So i searched a bit more and found a decent solution for this. You can disable the spell check for certain fields by setting the "excludeContentFromSpellCheck" attribute to "true" on text area and input controls that you dont want to be spell checked. I
did this on all my page layouts. Now i dont get false positives anymore.
The solution i found was this one: http://blog.cube4.com.au/?p=1016
This worked for SharePoint 2013. I dont know if this would work for SharePoint 2010 also.
