In summary, when your spell checker is missing, it means that the automatic spelling and grammar checking feature is not working or available. This can be due to technical issues, settings, or the spell checker not being installed or enabled. To fix a missing spell checker, solutions may include restarting the program or device, checking settings, or installing or updating the software. Most spell checkers do not require an internet connection, but some may offer additional features when connected. To prevent a missing spell checker, regularly check for updates and ensure the feature is enabled, and have a backup spell checker installed.
