Spell Check Email Outlook 2016 For Mac
Hello Everyone and thanks for reading, Before I get into the specifics of this issue, here are some system details: • Hardware: Microsoft Surface Pro 4 // Core i5 // 2.4 GHz // 8 GB RAM • OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (10.0.14393) • Office: 2016, version 1612 (Build 7668.2074) I apologize for the wordiness of this post, but here's the situation. If I have MS Word open and I launch the 'Spelling & Grammar' function, it works just fine. Misspelled words are identified with the red squiggly line as I type and the Spelling & Grammar process provides alternate spellings.

If I launch spelling & grammar, and click change, the misspelled word is corrected, on screen, before advancing to the next incorrectly spelled word and the process then repeats itself for every other misspelled word. Each time, if I opt to change the word, or the spelling of the word, the change is immediately displayed on screen.
This scenario works perfectly across the MS Office suite of applications. However, if I enable the Outlook feature titled 'Always check spelling before sending', things change a little. For the most part, things appear to work properly. As I type, misspelled words are shown by the red squiggly line and if I right mouse click on a misspelled word, I am given the option to change the spelling. However, once I'm done typing, if I click send, the spelling & grammar wizard opens and jumps to the first misspelled word.
Spelling options are displayed, as you would expect, but if I click change, to correct the spelling, the spelling & grammar wizard simply advances to the next misspelled word. There is no on-screen indication that the previously misspelled word has been corrected. It remains underlined and spelled incorrectly.
Only after I have processed every misspelled word through the spelling & grammar wizard and click 'Ok' does it make the corrections and send the email. It’s as if all changes are cached and then applied all at once, when the spell check wizard is complete. In most cases, when I compose an email for the first time, the entire process works as you would expect. Changes are made, on-screen, and then you are advanced to the next word. However, on subsequent attempts, it behaves as I have described above. Our organization is a Dell shop and I have tested this on different hardware configurations – all running Windows 10 and the same Office version. I can recreate this issue at will, without fail.
I have checked all of the settings within Office and can see nothing that would cause this. I have screen shots, if you want to see them, and would be willing to setup a WebEx or GoToMeeting session if anyone wants to see this in action.
Any ideas, or recommendations? I would bet my paycheck that it's a glitch in Office 365. I'm having a strange issue where hitting the 'Ignore All' button in spellcheck has no effect. Word simply blips and stays on the same word.
I can only move the spellchecker along by clicking on 'Ignore Once,' which is pretty stupid if you have multiple entries in a 100+ page document. This wasn't an issue until an Office update a few months back, and it's been a problem ever since.
Office 365 is glitchy, and Microsoft has no clue how to stay on top of it. Of course, this doesn't answer your question, but maybe it'll help focus your investigation. One of my users is experiencing this issue. Started once the Creator's update was installed.
Running Office 2010 (have to for compatibility reasons for production software) and she is the only one reporting the issue. I too have repaired Office, re-installed Office and applied all updates. There was supposedly a bug fix for the Creators update released shortly after and when we applied that update it worked normally for about a week then acted up again. We had not applied any updates at that point. Anyone else have any users that its not that it doesnt work at all but instead when it actually goes to change the word (whether is autocorrect or when they click 'Change' in spell check) that it will lag badly to the point where it states 'Not Responding' for the window and has to wait upwards of 30 seconds for outlook to 'catch up' before it will let me continue onto the next word. I had done an online repair with no luck. Also heard from a friend to try deleting the OST file from the appdata folder but again, no luck.
