With the introduction of the Windows 11 version 11.2402.18.0 update, Notepad will have a spellcheck and an autocorrect feature.<\/p>\n
Microsoft is making Notepad increasingly similar to Apple\u2019s TextEdit, which is bundled with MacOS and its own WordPad app.<\/p>\n
Like fully-featured word processors such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs, Notepad will underline misspelt words in red.<\/p>\n
The company has previously said it plans to remove WordPad from Windows in a future update.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo fix a spelling mistake, click, tap, or use the keyboard shortcut Shift + F10 on the misspelt word to see suggested spellings,\u201d David Grochocki, Microsoft\u2019s Principal Programme Manager for Inbox Apps, wrote in a blog post about the update.<\/p>\n
You will then be able to update a word by selecting a suggestion.<\/p>\n
If Notepad identifies a spelling error you deem correct, you can ignore the suggestion or add the word to your dictionary.<\/p>\n
This feature will only be enabled for specific file types, and Notepad will support languages other than English.<\/p>\n
You can access this function in the Notepad app settings and change it globally, or temporarily for a single session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
