How to activate the hotmail checker

Nobody likes to receive an email with misspellings, so to avoid it we can use the spell checker that comes standard in Hotmail. The problem is that the corrector is not always activated, so we run the risk of sending an email with misspellings. To make sure it's enabled, today we'll show you how to activate Hotmail's spell checker .

one

The first thing you should know is that in 2013 Hotmail migrated to Outlook, so the Hotmail corrector will be activated just like the Outlook corrector. At the time of writing the mail, in the bar at the top of the screen, we will see the option "Spell Check" next to "Send", "Insert", "Save", etc. You just have to click on it to activate the Hotmail checker .

If the Spell Check option does not appear, three dots will appear in the top bar. In that case, you just have to put the cursor over the three points and a menu will be displayed with several options, including Spell Check. If we click on it, it will check our email.

Still have not found the spell checker? Maybe it's because you use a browser that does not support that option or because the version you have installed on your computer is outdated. Try updating the browser to a newer version to see if you are lucky.

You must pay attention to the words in other languages ​​or web addresses that you may have written in the message. Sometimes, the automatic correctors consider that they are spelling mistakes and corrects them, so once the spell checker is passed, we will review the text, especially the links to correct them if the spell checker has changed them.

If this does not work for you, you can also use the dictionary included in the browsers. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari and even the latest versions of Internet Explorer have a spell checker similar to Word. The misspelled words will appear underlined in red, so you only have to click on them with the right mouse button and several proposals will appear to correct the error. If the word is well written, you can add it to the dictionary and it will not be marked as an error again.

Some browser may force you to download a dictionary. In that case, it is enough to do a quick search in any search engine in the style "mozilla firefox spanish dictionary" or "google chrome spanish dictionary" so that a large number of dictionaries appear. We will only have to download one and install it.
