When drafting emails, writing reports, or creating presentations, it’s easy to overlook small typos and spelling errors. Unfortunately, these mistakes can leave a negative impression, especially when communicating with clients or business partners.
The good news is that Windows 11 offers built-in spell check and autocorrect tools that can help you avoid these embarrassing errors and enhance your communication.
These features are simple to set up and use, eliminating the need for additional software to keep your writing polished and professional.
Want to know how to get started?
First, open Windows Settings and select the Time & Language option. From there, navigate to the Typing page. You’ll find options like ‘Autocorrect misspelled words’ and ‘Highlight misspelled words,’ which you can toggle on to catch mistakes as you type.
These tools work across most apps, flagging potential spelling errors and automatically correcting common mistakes. You can also enable text suggestions for word predictions while typing, making your work more efficient.
Does your business communicate in multiple languages? Windows 11 has you covered with its ‘Multilingual text suggestions’ feature, which provides word predictions in the languages you’re using, making it easier for bilingual teams.
While Windows 11’s spelling tools work across many applications, some, like Notepad and Outlook, require a bit of extra setup. In Notepad, for example, you’ll need to click the settings gear icon to enable the spell check feature.
For Outlook, where your team likely spends a lot of time composing emails, it’s worth taking advantage of the full suite of grammar tools. By navigating to Editor Settings under the Options tab, you can enable autocorrect, text predictions, and even tone suggestions to ensure your emails are clear and professional.
If your team uses Microsoft Edge, you can also enable grammar and spell check tools there. Just go to Settings, click on Languages, and turn on these options.
By setting up spell check and autocorrect in Windows 11, you’re not only preventing minor mistakes—you’re helping your business run more smoothly.
