\n<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe previous versions of Internet Explorer offered an add-on for the browser to add spell-checking functionality. Starting with Windows 8\/8.1 Microsoft decided to add the spell-checking functionality in the operating system, which affects the native applications in Windows, the Windows store apps and it also affects the Internet Explorer browser. Therefore, if you enable spell-checking in the operating system as described in the previous section, it will automatically apply to the Internet Explorer.<\/p>\n

Let’s say you want to verify that spell-checker is working in Internet Explorer 11 or Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. Follow these steps for verification.<\/p>\n
\n- Start Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge and login to OWA.<\/li>\n
- Start typing in a new message. Misspell a couple of words to see if there is a red squiggly line under the misspelled words. If not, the spell checker is not working and you need to make the changes described in this article. For example, if you are using Windows 10 and OWA 2013, make sure spell-checker is enabled in the operating system as described earlier in this article. You DO NOT need to restart the computer when you enable or disable spell-checker in Windows 10 but you must close the browser completely and then restart it, otherwise the change you made in Windows 10 won’t be reflected in the browser.<\/li>\n
- Create new message and start typing. Misspell some words. You should see a red squiggly line under the misspelled words, indicating that the spell-checker is working. You can right-click the word and add it to the dictionary if you want.
\n![\"AddToDictionary\"](\"https:\/\/www.zubairalexander.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/AddToDictionary-300x185.png\")
<\/a><\/li>\n- If you are just curious and want to prove to yourself that OWA really depends on the spell-checker in Windows 10, simply disable the spell-checker in Windows 10. Open IE or Edge and create a new message and type some text in OWA. You will notice that OWA doesn’t underline the misspelled words in red. Re-enable the spell-checker, restart the browser and run the test again. The spell-checker should be working again. Congratulations! You just convinced yourself :).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
