Spellcheck problem
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.
Hello,
We are seeing this in our org as well for Word online, no suggestions on either right or left click. Suggestions in Outlook works well though. We do not use any 3rd party spell checkers.
This is how the right click menu looks, I would have liked to show it in English, but I seem to have found another issue that changes all M365 pages when I switch language except for the Office suite editors:
Best regards
Alexander
Alexander, is this Word on the web? I see that same context menu here in the online version of Word, in a Swedish installation of Windows. The browser is Microsoft Edge.
It seems that something is wrong with the spelling suggestions at the moment.
I recommend that you report it using the feedback facility in Word on the web.
Hej Stefan!
Yes, this is Word on the web, M365 tenant (OP seems to use the live.com version), and using Firefox so cross browser as well. I've already reported it through the feedback tool so hopefully this will get attention eventually.
Allt gott!
Alexander
Hej!
Tack för uppföljningen.
Vänliga hälsningar
