One popular spell check add-on is called 'As-You-Type' and is available for download on the web. To check your spelling, you can either paste your text into software that does (such as Microsoft Word), or download a stand-alone spell check program. It is such a nice cool little program, and would be perfect with a Spellchecker Both on WordPad and Notepad for Windows 10. Wordpad does not have a built-in spell check feature. If Microsoft can update Paint in Windows 10 to Paint 3D and even add Bing to ancient Notepad, there has to be SOME incentive out there to give WordPad some love. It just seems odd that no one from Microsoft has said, 'Oh yea, this is a great idea! Our developers are considering this.' The generic answer is 'Oh, you can buy MS Office, or subscribe to Office 365, or use an Office competitor'. Apple's text creator an editing tools have Spellcheck.

Windows 10's own Feedback Hub has Spellcheck, all the browsers have spellcheck. The problem is that even the most-basic writing tools have spell check on them. That explanation would be fine twenty years ago. One explanation was that' WordPad is considered a text editor, not a full Word Processor and adding a Spellchecker would be considered an 'advanced' feature'. If you go on the Microsoft Feedback Forums, use the Windows 10 Feedback Hub, do online searching, you will find that one of the most requested Windows 10 features is adding a simple Spellcheck to WordPad.
