TIL: Setting Outlook (New) proofing language

The obvious place to look for changing the proofing language in Outlook would arguably be under “Settings”. Apparantly though, Microsoft has decided to have settings and options spread throughout the application.

So here’s the steps if you want to change the proofing language:

1. Start a new email (yes, you won’t be able to access the settings unless you do this)
2. In the ribbon above, choose Options.
3. Select the little pen at the left side and select Editor Settings. (Didn’t expect to find that one there, did you?)
4. Select Manage spellcheck languages and add your preferred language.
