Activating / Deactivating the Spell Check

Under Tools -> Options and Environment the option for the spell check can either be activated or deactivated: 

  • Check spelling while writing: in this case all words entered are compared to the dictionary. In case of an unknown word, it is underlined in red.
  • Check spelling prior to sending: in this case when clicking on Send the written text is compared to the dictionary and suggestions are made in a new window.

Select the Language

The language of the client is set as standard for the spell check.

You can, however, change the standard language into another one under Tools-> Speller Language.

Also by using the context menu you can change the language for parts of a text when required.
