hello. For the last few months the grammar check on Word doesnt work. It has come to a point where to double check for errors , i have to use third parties.
A family of Microsoft word processing software products for creating web, email, and print documents.
On the other hand, if you are seeing spellchecking issues in the desktop version of Word for Windows, have a look at Suzanne S. Barnhill's article at http://wordfaqs.ssbarnhill.com/MasterSpellCheck.htm .
There is an ongoing issue with spellchecking in the web browser version of Word. It doesn't affect all language versions of the app, though. See the thread in the TechCommunity at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/word/spellcheck-problem/4461101 .
Please try running an Office Repair. The Online Repair option is more thorough.

Hi Filio-Maria, I'm going to try and help with your query. I have some clarifying questions to ask and some tips below.
Is the issue you are experiencing in regards to Word not auto checking/highlighting whilst you work with a document? Or are you having issues manually instigating a check using the Review tab?
Is the issue related to Office 365 online or with the Word application on desktop?
If the issue is Office 365 related you can find settings for Spelling and Grammar by heading to the Review tab and selecting the Editor button via the arrow (shown below). From there you can access Editor settings.
If the issue is Word Desktop related you can check your grammar settings using (File>Options>Proofing) to see if any of the settings have been changed.
I hope this issue is resolved for you soon.
Kind regards
Andrew
hello and thank you for your response!!
It's unable to grammar check while i'm writing and then when I manually try to check for errors , it doesn't show anything. Also, it's on the application . I will try out what you suggested. Thanks in advance!
