Hi all! And again it’s me, Sergey, at the keyboard. How I started :). But seriously and to the point, I will now write, well, just very useful advice about how to enable spell checking in Opera, and how to add Russian and Ukrainian language checking. In fact, spell checking in the browser is very useful. But in Opera, immediately after installing it, there is only a check for the English language. Now we will add two more, or you can add as many languages as you need.
Spell checking works in all forms, on all sites. For example, you write a comment on my blog, and you accidentally misspell a word. If spell checking is turned on, it will be underlined with a red line, just like in Word. And if you right-click on this incorrectly spelled word, you will be able to select the correct version of the word.
I make quite a few mistakes on the blog with this check too :), well, excuse me, I have to type a lot, and you can’t keep track of all the mistakes :). But for example, when corresponding on VKontakte, checking spelling in Opera can make you and me more educated :). I’m writing how to do this in Opera, because I use this browser exclusively, maybe I’ll also write about other browsers.
Well, I think you already understand that this is very cool and useful. Especially for those who got a bad grade in Russian or Ukrainian at school :).
How to enable spell checking in Opera?
As I already wrote, checking in that browser is already enabled by default. But there is only one dictionary installed there, and that is English. We need to add more dictionaries that we need.
How to add Russian and Ukrainian language checking?
Now I’ll write how to add checking for these two languages, it’s actually nothing complicated.
On any text input field, right-click. For example, you can do this on the form for sending comments below. Make sure the checkbox is checked “Check spelling”. Costs? Everything is fine, if not, then install it. Next, hover over “Dictionaries” and select “Add/remove dictionaries”.
A window will appear in which you need to check off those dictionaries that you want to add to Opera for spell checking. After selecting the dictionaries, click “Next”.
The dictionaries will begin loading. A window will appear with a license agreement for each language. Put a tick “I agree to the terms of the license agreement” and click “Next”.
After loading all the dictionaries, a window will appear in which you can select the language for spell checking in Opera, which will be used by default. I selected Russian and clicked “Finish”.
To enable spell checking in Microsoft Office, open the Word software product using the desktop shortcut or the menu item “Start” - “All Programs” - Microsoft Office - Microsoft Word. Click the File tab (Microsoft Office 2013) or click the Office Button (Microsoft Office versions 2010 and 2007). Go to the "Options" section and click on the "Spelling" item. Select the Exceptions menu and click the Current File Name field. After that, uncheck the “Hide spelling errors” and “Hide grammatical errors” checkboxes.
If you want to enable automatic spell checking for all documents that you open in Microsoft Office, in the “Exceptions” section, select the “All new documents” option. Uncheck the corresponding “Hide” checkboxes and save your changes by clicking on the “Ok” button.
In PowerPoint, you can enable automatic spell checking from the similar menu “Options” - “Spelling”. Uncheck the “Hide spelling errors” checkbox and save your changes.
Mechanism of operation
When an error occurs in your text, Word will highlight it with a red, blue, or green line. The red line is used to record spelling errors. Punctuation errors are indicated with a blue line, and grammatical errors are highlighted with a green wavy line. To view possible spelling options and correct an error, right-click on the word or phrase.
If you accept the option suggested by Word, select it by clicking on the corresponding menu item. Word will automatically correct the error and remove the underline. If you think that there is no error in a given place in the text and the word is written correctly, you can ignore the underlining or click on the “Skip all” context menu, also available by right-clicking.
AutoCorrect
You can also activate the AutoCorrect feature, which is available in Office programs. This option allows you to automatically correct incorrectly spelled words in accordance with a list manually created by the user. There you can add words that cause you problems in spelling.
To enable auto-substitution, go to the “Options” - “Spelling” - “Auto-Correct Options” section. Check the "Replace as you type" checkbox. In the Replace field, indicate the words or phrases that you have difficulty writing. In the left column, enter the misspelled word, and in the right column, indicate the correct spelling. After adding a sufficient number of words and phrases, click “OK” and save your changes.

All sites and forums have forms for filling out text. In order to write a text, question, comment or business letter correctly and without errors, you need to be the most literate person and have the highest grade in the language or enable spell check in your browser by setting the desired language.
Enable spell checking in the browser
When you write a message on a social network or an email in Gmail, you may notice how a misspelled word is underlined with a red line (flat or wavy). This means that the browser's spell checking is enabled. However, it works differently in different browsers: in some it simply highlights errors, while in others it also offers options for choosing a word replacement. In addition, it should be noted that the browser may also underline correct words if the default language is set to one language.
Therefore, if you write in Russian or Ukrainian in the browser, then when you turn on the spell check, you also need to set the desired language.
Let's look at enabling spell checking using the Opera browser as an example (it's identical in Google Chrome).
IMPORTANT! Spell checking is enabled by default in browsers. It only uses one dictionary - English or Russian. We will give an example of adding one language, and you will do the same steps, just select another language pack (or as many as necessary).
Let's open a website, for example. Select any article and open the form for writing comments. Right-click on an empty space and select “Spell Check”, and then “Language Settings”.
A new tab will open in your browser. A list of languages will be presented. If the required language is not available, then click on the “Add” button.
Select the dictionary to load and click “Add”.
Now that the language has been added to the list, select it and check the box “Use this language to check spelling”, as well as “Enable spell checking”.
Click the “Finish” button and write the text in the browser without errors.
It is important to note that such a simple spell check setting is possible in other browsers. Therefore, by spending just a couple of minutes, you will not only get rid of mistakes, but over time you will learn not to make them at all. Moreover, such a check will provide you with the option of selecting the correct word, eliminating the need for manual editing, which saves time.
