Spellcheck problem
- Oct 23, 2025
We have confirmed that this is a bug related to the "display web pages in this language"-setting in your browser. If you set that to english, german, spanish, french or japanese it works but if you select swedish, finnish, danish, hindu, esperanto or some other language it does not work. It is also isolated to Word, Powerpoint spellcheck works. You can have the display language in english and still have spell check in another language.
It is not related to any third party product.
It is confirmed by Microsoft and sent as a bug to the product team.
You are welcome to save an excerpt with the spelling mistakes uncorrected on OneDrive and post a link here for us to look at.
Is this all a single document or multiple documents?
If multiple documents, what happens if, with Word closed, you rename the normal.dotm file?
