    CrackerB, did you even try to do the steps that were provided to find the spell check options?? it is easy, you don't need "EDITOR". Just follow the steps through your outlook email account and it will fix your issue. Just be patient, this is from a person that is not a computer nerd.

    In outlook email account (new version)

    Click "view", top left of screen next to HOME

    Click "View Settings" below HOME

    Setting Screen pops up

    Click "General" on left side of screen

    Click "Privacy and data" in the middle of the screen

    New screen opens on right side

    Scroll down to the bottom and click on "Privacy Settings"

    New screen opens for Privacy Settings

    Scroll down to "Turn on Experiences that analyze your content"

    Click the button and make it BLUE, this will turn it on.

    Click close when done. This should give you spell check, and the bubble that pops up over your words can be used by pressing your up-arrow button and then pressing enter to use that word or one of the words that are provided.

    Hope this helps, if not I don't know what you have going on with your system. Maybe you want to go back to DOS or stone and chisel.

    I hate this new Outlook, too. I do not have "Editor" anywhere. The old outlook was better. I think I might have to stop using it. Should I use thunderbird again? I might have to do some checking. I agree with you and everyone else. NEW OUTLOOK SUCKS!

    Two thumbs-up👍👍 to that!!

    To get spell check, you need to change the email to the pop out view. To do this access settings (View-Mail-Compose and reply-Pop-out settings). Then change from write inline to pop-out to a new window. This is the only way to get spell check in new outlook.

    That was one of the first things I tried. From memory this does work in the online (browser-based) version of Outlook, but not the desktop app!

    (all you get is the pop-up window above, which has no spell-checking options).
