How does Notepad’s spellcheck feature work?
The spellcheck feature found in Windows 11’s Notepad works similarly to the spellcheck feature found in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Edge browsers. This feature automatically highlights misspelled words in red.
Users can correct their mistakes by right-clicking to see spelling suggestions. Microsoft has also added autocorrect to Notepad, which corrects mistakes while typing.
The Spellcheck feature will support many languages
According to the report, the spellcheck feature in Notepad will support multiple languages and users can also add some of their own words to the app’s dictionary.
This feature is enabled by default for some file formats but is turned off by default for log files and other file formats related to coding.
Microsoft has also recently added dark mode, tabs, Copilot AI integration, and a virtual fidget spinner to Notepad.
