Safari for Windows - Toggle Spell Checking While Typing (Disabling Red Underlines)
SUMMARY: Toggle whether or not Safari for Windows should spell check typed text, underlining misspelled or unknown words in red.
When typing text into a form, search box, etc. from Safari for Windows, if you mistype a word or if Safari does not recognize it, the word is dotted-underlined in red.
While this feature can be quite helpful when writing blog posts, replying to a discussion, participating in an online chat, etc., in many other cases the automatic spell check may be annoying. For example, when searching for locations in Google Maps, you may often type in city or address names that Safari cannot recognize, such as "Wrigleyville, IL ", "Immokalee, FL", or "Montague Street, Brooklyn". Safari will dotted-underline the aforementioned bolded words, and you may find this behavior annoying. Thus to toggle this behavior, either:
* Right-click a misspelled or unrecognized word, selecting "Spelling and Grammar", then uncheck "Check Spelling While Typing".
Disabling spell checking while typing from Safari for Windows
* From the menu bar (press Alt if it doesn't currently appear), select "Edit" - Spelling and Grammar", then uncheck "Check Spelling While Typing".
Press the "print" button on your browser or select "File" - "Print" to print this tip. Then, return to Safari for Windows - Toggle Spell Checking While Typing (Disabling Red Underlines)
