How to Disable Spell Check in OneNote on Windows 11/10

Microsoft Office apps like Word and PowerPoint can have their settings how to Disable Spell Check in OneNote on Windows 11/10. This is especially helpful when writing a letter or taking notes for a blog or something else. We don’t always need this, though.

For example, when we type in contact names and other proper nouns, spell check can’t tell the difference and marks them with red wavy lines even though it’s not necessary. Even the OneNote app doesn’t break this rule. Follow the steps if you don’t want OneNote’s proofreading feature to be turned off.

The spelling and grammar check in OneNote is the same as the one in Microsoft Office. We’ll talk about how to turn it off in both OneNote 2016 and the OneNote app for Windows 10.

1. Use a (good) dictionary.

3. Always check certain “troublesome” suffixes in your dictionary.
4. Create your own “difficult-to-spell” lists.
5. Learn the standard pronunciations for frequently misspelled words.

Which feature helps to remove spelling mistake?

A useful feature when checking spelling and grammar is Word’s AutoCorrect feature. When Word indicates a word in a document may be misspelled or incorrect, with a squiggle under it, you can right-click the word to see suggestions. If a suggestion is correct, simply select it to replace the word.
