How to Spell Check Spanish Words in Microsoft

Microsoft Word can spell- and grammar-check Spanish documents.

Microsoft operating systems come with Microsoft Office Suite, which includes the word processing program Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word comes enabled with English, Spanish and French word processing capabilities. To perform spell check for documents that are in Spanish, you need to adjust the settings of the Microsoft Word program on your computer.

Instructions

1. Select the Start menu in the bottom left corner of the screen and navigate to "Programs." Select "Microsoft Office Tools" and then select "Microsoft Office XP Language Settings."

2. Locate the "Enabled Languages" tab and then the list of "Available Languages." Select "Spanish" and click "Add," then select "OK."

3. Restart Microsoft Office or Microsoft Word.

4. Open your Spanish language document. Select the Spell Check button from the toolbar to run the spell check.
