In Outlook for Windows, there is an option to always check spelling before sending an e-mail message. Outlook for Mac
does not have this option; instead it checks for spelling errors as you type. Outlook
uses a dashed, red underline to indicate possible spelling errors. You can also check spelling at any time by using the Spelling button.
Do any of the following:
 | Check spelling automatically as your type |
-
When you see a word with a dashed, red underline, hold down
CONTROL, and then click the word.
-
On the shortcut menu, do one of the following:
To | Do this |

Choose from a list of suggested corrections | Click one of the guesses at the top of the shortcut menu. |
Remove the dashed, red underline for one instance of a word | Click Ignore Spelling. |
To add a word to the spelling dictionary | Click Learn Spelling. |

| Check spelling at anytime |
