We are having issues where when we open Outlook Web App in a PWB window it does not use the Spellchecker.

If we open an IE11 window outside of PWB the spellchecker works fine. Any advice?

What version, including the minor revision number, and flavor of PWB are you using?

For example "3.04.5 CEF".

"3.04.2 IE".

The spell checking in the Internet Explorer Webbrowser Control is available starting with Internet Explorer 10 in Windows 8.

Adding the following to the Windows Registry should enable Spell Checking in PWB IE.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (or HKEY_CURRENT_USER)
SOFTWARE
Microsoft
Internet Explorer
Main
FeatureControl
FEATURE_SPELLCHECKING
PWB.exe = (DWORD) 00000001

I have tried adding this Key to both the HKLM and HKCU however it does not seem to allow the spellchecking to work.

this is on a 64 bit machine if that matters.

Try changing the following Registry Setting.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_SPELLCHECKING]
"PWB.exe"=dword:00000001

--Scott

tried that as well but still no go.

Spell check works in the Chrome tab, just not the IE Tab in the PWB.

What version of Windows are you using?

On Windows 10 64 Bit with PWB 3.05.0 IE setting the WOW6432Node FEATURE_SPELLCHECKING key on the Windows Registry allows the spell checking to work in OWA. See attachment.

We have a mixed environment with some Windows 7 some Windows 10.

However can you get it to work using the PWB 3.05.0 CEF? We are not able to use the IE version as many websites are incompatible still.... even when using the compatibility mode.

According to this post it works in CEF?

PWB 3.05.0 CEF spell checking test with OWA.

So When I use PWB CEF the Chrome Tab works fine... however when I force it to open in an IE Tab it does not work.

Is that what you tested to confirm it worked?
