If you're using LanguageTool for Windows with Microsoft Word, you might notice that Word's built-in spelling and grammar checker shows suggestions at the same time. This can be distracting or lead to conflicting feedback.
To get the most out of LanguageTool, we recommend turning off Word’s native checker. Here's how you can do that:
Open Microsoft Word
Click on File in the top left corner
Select Options from the menu
In the Word options window, click Proofing
Under the section "When correcting spelling and grammar in Word", uncheck the following boxes:
Check spelling as you type
Mark grammar errors as you type
Frequently confused words
Check grammar with spelling
Click OK to save your changes
Once these settings are turned off, only LanguageTool’s suggestions will appear—giving you a more focused and consistent editing experience.
