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.

Bug? Mailto: in combination with Office 2013 Spell Checking.

Dear community,
For one of our sollutions we use the mailto protocol to send a hyperlink which users can use to automatically open a predefined new-email-window.
This works fine with Office Professional Plus 2010 [EN-US] (32bit) in combinatione with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2010 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit).
However, Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] (32bit), in combination with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit), crashes whenever the spellingcheck is started.
The mailto-command we use to reproduce this problem is (enter command in Internet Explorer, open with Outlook):
mailto:[email protected]?subject=%20Actie%20vereist&body=%5b2103162%2f335159076094968874376260057075247208793%5d
During analyses we concluded:
- Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2 (Full Scan) did not find any related issues.
- Spellchecker crashes while checking the text within the body.
- Uninstalling Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands solves the problem, but obviosly, we want to keep the Dutch spelling check functionality.
- Standard Englsh (U.S.) spellchecking functions without problems.
- This problem is reproducable on any computer running Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] in combination with the Dutch (Nederlands) spelling check. Tried multiple hardware configurations (Intel based) and multiple OS's (Windows 7 Enterprise
(64bit), Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64bit), Windows 8.1 Pro (64bit). All with the same result.
Is there way to solve this issue, without loosing Outlook 2013 as client and Dutch Spelling Check capabilities?
Kind regards,
Leon Kandelaars.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reaction.
Q - Do you mean Outlook crashes when we click the Spelling & Grammar button under Review tab?
A - Yeah, if you try to edit the mail and have 'check spelling as you type' activated, it wil crash as well.
Q - If we copy the email body and paste it to a new email message, will this issue continue?
Does this issue happen with other Office 2013 programs? Please try to use 'spell check' in word and check if the same issue occurs.
A - If you copy the generated body to a new email or Word 2013, the spelling check will in both cases crash the application.
Q - In addition, we can also have a look at the event log to see if we can find anything useful.
A - The crash generates an "Application" "Hang error". I've generated 2 (1 with Outlook, 1 with Word):

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.

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!
David Langer Helpdesk Analyst Kimco Realty Corporation [email protected]

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

2010 OUTLOOK SPELL CHECKER

Outlook 2010 spell checker stopped working.
Its not auto correcting, or when you go to spell check it says all ok - when there are errors
i have checked the language is set ok, everything seems the same as it was
any ideas?

please check read actical from below link.

Outlook 2013 randomly loses connection to Exchange 2007 server

Hello everyone,
I have received complaints from some of our users over the past couple of months about them not receiving mails or about sending mails which do not get delivered. A little bit of investigation into the matter showed me that Outlook 2013 had lost its connection
to the Exchange server. (Which is Exchange 2007 SP3 running on Windows Server 2008 / SBS2008, in case it matters.)
Which is bad enough in itself - none of our users running Outlook 2007 and 2010 had that problem - but it also does so in a rather inconspicuous manner, so the users did not notice. Closing and restarting Outlook helped every single time, but the users did
not notice when this happened, and telling them to just restart Outlook every hour or so does not seem like an overloy practical idea.
All of the clients encountering the problem are running Outlook 2013 on Windows 8/8.1 Pro. We do not have any clients running older versions of Outlook on Windows 8, so I cannot tell for sure if this problem originates in the OS or if it is an Outlook problem.
The first couple of times I encountered the problem, it was on laptops, so I suspected some power management issue initially. I made sure Outlook connected to the server via HTTPS, which it already did. Then I did not hear of the problem for about two months,
but recently, two of our users have run into the problem again, and while these were still Windows 8.1 machines, running, of course, Outlook 2013, they are plain desktop computers, not laptops, and I already toned down their power management settings, so I
do not think that it has to do with the problem.
Has anybody encountered a similar problem or even - more importantly - a solution? This problem is really frustrating, because our users are very sensitive to problems with their email, and the fact that this problem only occurs randomly and - all in all
- rather rarely, makes it very hard to track down.
Thank you all very, very much for any insights you might be able to share with me!

Hi,
Please ensure that Outlook 2013 clients retain their connection with the Exchange server using HTTP:
Have the Outlook 2013 user check the settings under FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> E-mail tab -> Select the account and click Change -> More Settings -> Connection tab -> Exchange Proxy Settings -> Make sure both
"On fast networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP" and "On slow networks, connect using HTTP first, then connect using TCP/IP" are selected -> OK.

Outlook 2013 won't open calendar items created on Outlook 2007

I have a user that recently got office 2013 pro plus on his computer. We created a new profile and connected him to exchange 2010. Now when he tries to open up a calendar item that was created prior to the 2013 install it just spins and you have
to cancel outlook. He can create new calendar items and then open them up again but any item that was created with 2007 locks up.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Jason,
I agreed with ED's point. If everything in your mailbox can work well in OWA and Outlook 2007, the mailbox in your server side should be healthy and configured properly.
Personal opinion, I suggest that we can try another computer with Outlook 2013 to check whether the issue persists. Also start Outlook by using Outlook /safe and Outlook /cleanprofile switches to have a try.
Thanks,

Email Spell Check

Two things regarding the spell check. When I click on the spell check after writing an email, it turns the misspelled words yellow. Any 'misspelled' words in the email chain are highlighted and when i send it they stay yellow to the other user. Is there a way to fix this? Also, is there a way to turn on automatic grammatical errors? As in 'i' does not automatically capitalize and neither does the first letter in a new sentence. Are there reasons why there is no Outlook style spell checks? It makes me seriously consider changing to another provider.

If you want Outlook style spell checks, why not use Outlook to check your mail?

OUTLOOK 2013 DISCONNECTS TO EXCHANGE SERVER

Hello,
I am a student at The Ohio State University. I configured Outlook 2013 to check my EXCHANGE SERVER. It was successfully configured. However, outlook RANDOMLY disconnects to my EXCHANGE SERVER. I have been experiencing this for a month.
After I restart my computer, outlook will connect to my email again, but it will still disconnect to my email randomly at another time the day after
I am using window 8.1
Outlook 2013 (latest version)
Best,
Patrick Nguyen

Check the connection status of Outlook. To do this, hold down the CTRL key and right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area (system tray) of your computer.
Select Connection Status.
See where its trying to connect.
Report to your Exchange Admin, most case it has to be checked at Exchange Server End, If you opt out network related issue.

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

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.

Spell Check for OutLook Express ?

Does anyne know of a free download that can I can install that will work with OutLook Express 5 that came with my G3 20GB Blue&White 500MHz SlotloadingCDRW.
The help section says I have to have MicroSoft Office installed ????
Thanks ( again ) Eric

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.
