If you send emails in different languages it may be useful to have a spell check setup to check for different languages.

The first step is to ask your IT support as they will need to install the dictionary. - See steps here

Using Spell Check

1. Once you have created your email click, Tools > Spell Check
2. On the pop up box that appears, under dictionary select the Language you want to use (Note: you will only be able to spell check on the languages you have installed)
3. Click the Recheck button
4. You can then go through and update any incorrect spellings

If you have enabled Instant spell checker (the red underline), this will always check the spelling using your default language, to remove the red underline you need to tag the text with the correct language to do this.

Tagging the email text

1. Once you have finished typing your email, select all the text you want to check.
2. Right Click with your mouse and select Text Properties (or Text > Text Properties)
3. A pop up box will appear and on the first tab there is an option that says Language
4. If you click on this a drop down will appear and you can select the language you wish to tag the email with (Note: you must have the dictionary already installed for this to work)
5. Any incorrectly spelt words will then be underlined and updated

Note: The tagging option also allows you to create emails that contain text from different language, once tagged the speller checker will automatically check the spelling in the correct language.
