Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) Spelling Correction - Enable or Disable

How to Enable or Disable Spelling Correction in Internet Explorer 10 (IE10)​

   Information
Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) includes a new spelling correction feature that autocorrects and highlights misspelled words.

In Windows 8, spelling correction is included in both Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) desktop and Windows UI (Metro) versions.

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable spelling correction in Internet Explorer 10 (IE10) in Windows 7 and Windows 8.

   Note
Autocorrect misspelled words - When turned on, will autocorrect the spelling of your typed words on the fly if it is matched with the correct spelling of the word in the dictionary. For example, type squigly and press the space bar after it, and it will be autocorrected to squiggly.

Hightlight misspelled words - When turned on, will highlight the misspelled word by having a red squiggly line under it.


This will not work in IE11. Use this below for IE11 instead.

Yes I know its for IE10 but as I said I searched the forum and this is the closest thread that talks about enable/disable the spell checker. If there is a better thread then please move my post or move it into a new thread, sorry.
