Dear marvinruddell,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

Spell check in the new Outlook locate under Editor feature. Kindly set your ribbon on classic and create new email, click New email--> Message tab-->click on Editor -->Editor Settings--> select your language preference and enable spelling and grammar check -->OK.

However, if Editor is grayed out in your new outlook, please kindly go to Settings (The gear icon at the right top corner) -->General -->Privacy and data -->Privacy settings -->toggle on button for "Turn on experiences that analyze your content" -->OK.

I look forward to your update. Please feel free to let me know how it goes or if I got you wrong. If you still have any concerns, please let me know so I can provide more suggestions.

Thank you for your precious time. Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

Libeamlak | Microsoft Community Moderator

I've done all this and left clicking a misspelled word, and right clicking a misspelled word, do not bring up any correction options.

Ive tried opening the editor, its no longer greyed out, but it subsequently doesn’t actually open anything, as in your screen shots.

Absolutely at my wits end trying to figure this out. Bottom line…New Outlook is not an improvement on the old one…where is spell check!!!!!!!

Please advise how to set ribbon to classic. I click on what I assume to be the settings button at the top of the screen but all I get is a loading screen and nothing happens.

1, the editor settings icon is hidden under the ellipses on the right, not as shown.

2, the editor settings icon does nothing no matter how many times you click it.

3, spell check doesn't offer any suggestions.

4, opening the editor, whatever that is, also does nothing no matter how many times you click it.

I do not have those options in the Privacy and Data area. All I have are search history and Microsoft's Notice.

I did find that if I pop the message out of the reading pane, that spell check works then by right clicking, but that is more of a temporary workaround rather than a real "fix".

I have followed instructions to change privacy and editor settings. My editor does not show options for Spelling and Grammar. My only options are: Editor/Customize your Editor: Text predictions, Enable auto correct. Spell & Grammar checker are not working. I have a notice "Failed to load Editor Settings". What should I do?

Editor settings doesn't open up. I just have to ask...why did you do this? It just makes outlook worse.
