Can You Spell Check Yahoo Mail Messages

Yahoo Mail doesn't include a spell checker. However, web browsers like Firefox, Chrome, and Safari, have built-in spell checkers that check for errors as you type. When an error is found, the browser displays a red line beneath the problem word. To fix the spelling, right-click the word and choose the correct spelling from the suggestions offered by the browser. Because the method for setting up automatic spell checking is different for each web browser, follow the instructions for the browser you use with Yahoo Mail. Was this page helpful?
