Spell check underlines words in red. I need it to correct automatically. How do I do that?

If you're telling me that it can't correct spelling then just say that.
I am not going through a 12-step guide and messing with PYTHON SCRIPTS to make the most basic functions work.
I need a simple thing, THE MOST BASIC THING FOR A TEXT EDITOR. If this software won't do it just say that. This is NOT SOLVED, don't fucking mark this solved. I haven't been given a usable fucking answer.

This broken-ass software has been broken for 20 years. If it can't fucking correct spelling in 2021 that is it. That is the last chance I ever give this fucking broken garbage.

If you can't read instructions to fix the problem, we can't do anything for you. The script is not mandatory.
If you can't behave yourself, then no need to continue. Therefore, I ban you for rude language. We understand frustration, not ranting without doing any homework.

Automatic spellcheck? A very bad idea; how does the automatic process decide in the case when there are multiple possible selections? Automatic functions are all very well, but they have their limits.
Using Spellcheck on OpenOffice, one right clicks on the underlined word, and a popup menu shows the proffered options, one of which one can select to replace the queried word.
I agree with Hagar's banning the OP.

I just rejected three "new" users asking the same question in nearly identical language and in all caps. One used the original IP but then it changed, probably a VPN. Watch out for more from this guy.

Sure, see:
How to turn on AutoCorrect. I changed the upper case of the title however.
Note: I think that the problem is not correctly stated. The issue is with the red underlining (the typical issue), it is not with having a correction automatically applied to errors typed in the text.
