I am on the faculty of a college that uses Microsoft Outlook Web Access for its email. Sometimes the spell check works and other times I cannot get it turn on. My college is on a Windows 7 but soon is (I hope) going to Windows 10.
When you right click on the word in question, you get a sign that says "Spell-Checker Options" and then "English" appears to the right. Below the word "English" you have three options in descending order in the pull down menu:
1. Language settings
2. Check the spelling of text fields
3. Ask Google for suggestions
My problem is I often have to ask Google for suggestions 3 to 4 times on simple words that would not be among hardest in the Merriam Webster 10 question quiz on their website.
Sometimes I give up on it helping me and do the 1950s thing and I go to the bookshelf and get a dictionary. I would rather not do that . I am now doing that for every 20th new difficult word. What should I do?
