Greetings,

I'm using Windows, IE 11 and OWA (Outlook Web Access).  The spell check function has stopped working.  Previously, when sending an email, after hitting send, the red wiggly line would indicate misspelled words.  now OWA/IE just sends the message no matter how bad the spelling.  Yes, I went to the gears icon and checked to make sure spell check is enabled and I have the latest java version.  How do I fix this?

Hi John,

What version of OWA are you using? Do you have a Spell Check button in your OWA?

By "I went to the gears icon and checked to make sure spell check is enabled", do you mean you have enabled the "Always check spelling before sending" option?

The spell check function in OWA completely relies on the spell check capabilities of the browser. Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook desktop application, I'd recommend you post a new question in Exchange forum for further assistance:
