Nobody wants their communications to have spelling errors left in, so let Microsoft Outlook help by automatically spellchecking emails before they\u2019re sent.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to deal with spelling errors in an email is not to make them in the first place, and toward that end, Outlook can help. The Microsoft Outlook client has a setting that forces spellcheck to take place after you click the \u201cSend\u201d button. If no errors are found, the email is sent like normal. If a spelling error is found, Outlook gives you the option to correct it before the email is sent.<\/p>\n<p>To turn this setting on, open the Outlook desktop <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lication and click File &gt; Options.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-706590 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/1-Options.png\" alt=\"The &quot;Options&quot; menu option.\" width=\"146\" height=\"432\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In the Mail &gt; Compose Messages section, toggle on the \u201cAlways check spelling before sending\u201d checkbox.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-706591 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-Always-check.png\" alt=\"The &quot;Always check spelling before sending&quot; option.\" width=\"555\" height=\"255\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Click \u201cOK\u201d in the bottom-right corner to save and close the \u201cOptions\u201d panel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-706592 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/3-OK.png\" alt=\"The &quot;OK&quot; button in the &quot;Options&quot; panel.\" width=\"319\" height=\"146\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s all there is to it.
