    To add French and Polish spell check in Microsoft 365 apps such as Word or Outlook:

    1. Open Word.
    2. Go to Review > Language > Language preferences.
    3. If French or Polish is listed with Proofing available, select it.
    4. If it is not installed, select Add a language.
    5. Choose French or Polish.
    6. Check Get proofing tools.
    7. Select Add.

    After the languages are added, turn on automatic language detection:

    1. Go to Review > Language > Set Proofing Language.
    2. Select Detect language automatically.

    If spell check still does not work correctly in mixed-language text, select the text and set the proofing language manually from Review > Language > Set Proofing Language.

    In Outlook, the Review tab is available while editing or composing an email.
