I have 6.8.3; the solutions given here:

How can one turn off spell checking in Notepad++?

... are for version 6.5 or so. The UI items mentioned in the solution are no longer present.

That is, my toolbar doesn't have an ABC button, nor do the Plugins nor Settings -> Backup have any way to disable Auto-Correct. I do see the DSpellchecking plugin but do not see any way to configure it.

I am one of the authors of Working Software's Lookup and Spellswell; bad spellers drive me totally round the bend. (They were originally written by Mike Green and Dave Johnson, I developed new versions.)

How do I turn off spellchecking in Notepad++?

There are three places where spell checking can occur.

  1. Auto-completion.

    To disable go to menu > "Settings" > "Preferences" > "Auto-Completion" and uncheck "Enable auto-completion on each input".

  2. DSpellCheck plugin.

    To disable go to menu > "Plugins" > "DSpellCheck" and uncheck "Spell Check Document Automatically" or press Alt+A

  3. SpellChecker plugin.

    This is not automatic, you need to press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to perform the spell check. You can also remove the plugin.
