Check spelling as you type
Supported on SUPPORTED_Windows7 (defined in the Windows templates)
What it does
This policy setting allows you to configure options for spelling errors. If you enable this policy setting, you may choose one of these options: - Check spelling as you type: This option is checked. - Hide spelling errors: This option is checked, but "Check spelling as you type" is unchecked. - Both: "Check spelling as you type" and "Hide spelling errors" are both checked. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the "Check spelling as you type" option is checked.

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
