Whether you’re composing emails, drafting reports, or building presentations, it’s easy to overlook minor spelling errors and typos. These small mistakes can leave a negative impression, especially when communicating with clients or business partners.
The good news? Windows 11 includes built-in spell check and autocorrect features that help you avoid these slip-ups, ensuring your communication always looks polished and professional.
Setting them up is straightforward. Once enabled, you won’t need any additional software to keep your text error-free.
How to Get Started
Open Windows Settings and navigate to Time & Language.
Go to the Typing page and turn on options like ‘Autocorrect misspelled words’ and ‘Highlight misspelled words’.
These features work across most applications, automatically correcting errors and highlighting potential mistakes. You can even enable text suggestions for word predictions as you type.
For multilingual businesses, activate ‘Multilingual text suggestions’ to get accurate word recommendations in any language your team uses.
Customizing for Specific Apps
While Windows 11’s spell check will function in most apps by default, some require extra configuration. For example:
In Notepad, click the gear icon in the settings menu to turn on spell check.
In Outlook, go to Editor Settings under the Options tab to enable features like autocorrect, text predictions, and even tone suggestions.
Using Microsoft Edge? Head to Settings > Languages and activate grammar and spell check options to avoid errors while browsing.
By utilising Windows 11’s built-in spelling and grammar tools, you’re not just avoiding small errors—you’re helping your team communicate more effectively and boosting overall efficiency.
