WHERE is spell check in new outlook?

Please check my post from 5/8/2025

I tested and it worked for me.

• On Windows, spell check is controlled by Windows Typing Settings.
• On Mac, it’s controlled by the macOS system preferences.
• And in Outlook on the Web (Outlook.com / Office 365), spellcheck depends on your browser’s built-in spellcheck. How to enable spell check on Windows (for New Outlook desktop app):

1. Go to Settings > Time & Language > Typing.
2. Make sure Autocorrect misspelled words and Highlight misspelled words are toggled On.
3. Restart Outlook.
4. Restart Windows (sometimes need 2x)
5. Test.

Here is what I found after doing some research regarding this issue and this enabled the Spell check on my New Outlook.

The new Outlook desktop app no longer has a separate in-app spell check setting — it relies on your operating system or browser’s built-in tools.

The Change:

In New Outlook for Windows and Mac desktop app, Microsoft removed the built-in spell checker setting because it now relies entirely on the operating system’s spellcheck services.

I don't have an "editor" button at ALL! Also, why on earth was the decision made to get rid of a simple GD TAB that makes proofing emails easier? Does Microsoft really have less brainpower than your average middle school student? FIX THIS!!! I shouldn't have to jump through hoops and lies from this company for the THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS that are paid for licenses when the product is clearly not up to par.

I think it's wrong that you must allow outlook or Microsoft to Analyze all your content in order to use spell check.

i will just reinstall my office outlook this is wrong

Thank You!!! Being a "tech" person since 1982, and having always taken pride in my ability to harness the power of software... this one leaves me speechless.
