How to use Firefox Spell Checker

FreddieD

I use Outlook web email for a part-time role, which is set up by the organisation.

Outlook highlights incorrect spelling by underlining in red. However, when right-clicking on a word to check the spelling, I'm given various text options, such as "Font", "Emojis" etc. No spell-check!

On opening their Help facility, and typing Spell Check in the search box, this is the response....

"There is no spell check option in Outlook on the web. To check your spelling, you'll need to use your web browser. Spell checking is available in Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 10 and later versions, and current versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Check the options for your web browser to learn more about how to check spelling.

I'm using W10 Pro, and Firefox 114.0.1 with an update pending, which will be done after writng this message!

Please help!!

Try to hold the Shift key when right-clicking to get the Firefox context menu.

As a footnote for additional context: sites can substitute a custom right-click context menu for Firefox's built-in menu. When you hold down Shift while right-clicking, Firefox ignores the site's custom menu and shows the built-in menu instead.
