Spell check has stopped working, still underlines in red misspellings, but right click doesn't provide any suggestions now. This is my FAVORITE feature!

Spell check isn't providing suggested spellings when you right click, what happened?

Do you have a dictionary installed and selected?

  • You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
  • Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
  • Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.

You can enable or disable spell checking globally:

  • Tools > Options > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"

You can look here for dictionaries:
