The steps in this article are going to show you how to change a setting in Outlook Options so that the program will automatically run a spell check before it sends the message.

Continue below to see how to turn on automatic spell checks in Outlook 2013. Step 1: Open Outlook 2013.   Step 2: Click the File tab at the top-left corner of the window.

    Step 3: Click Options in the column at the left side of the window.

    Step 4: Click the Mail tab at the left side of the Outlook Options window.

    Step 5: Check the box to the left of Always check spelling before sending, then click the OK button at the bottom-left corner of the window to save and apply your changes.

    Now when you click the Send button after finishing an email, the spell checker will run instead.
