![]() I have not been successful finding any record of this problem/issue being posted before (which I'm sure is not possible my own search skills are clearly at fault). This suggests strongly to me that the problem is in the way Outlook handles attachments. I switched over to Apple's native MAIL app instead of Outlook and did the same thing, only to discover that the spell check works immediately (with or without using the SAVE-AS feature it appears to me MAIL allows Read/Write access to Word attachments stored in its Db). I discovered that if I copy the text of the Word file into a new, blank Word doc, the spell check with the squiggly lines immediately works. When you Save As and begin editing the Word document, the squiggly red lines of the spell checker do not appear. Open the attachment, and Word will alert you to the fact that the document before you is READ-ONLY (this, I suspect, because it remains a static part of Outlook's local mail database). ![]() ![]() Steps to Replicate: Receive an email in Outlook 2016 for Mac with a Word attachment.
