Outlook 2007 proofing and autocorrect options grayed out
in [Outlook]
|
From: Mark_XKR on 3 Feb 2007 04:52 Hi We use Office 2003 and Exchange via a web based service. Our Exchange provider has upgraded us, as part of our contract, to Outlook 2007. Which we have installed. I have found that a lot of the proofing options are grayed out (see below). Is this because they are handled by Office 2007? And is there a way to activate them without upgrading to Office 2007 throughout? Or do we need to uninstall Outlook 2007 and go back to Outlook 2003 to get back tehse proofing functions? Grayed out options include: EDIT+OPTIONS+SPELLING+SPELLING AND AUTOCORRECTION : Proofing (section header):: When correcting spelling in Outlook :: <-all optiosn Grayed out (section header):: Autocorrect Optons + Autocorreect Options button :: - all options and tabs Grayed out [Autoformat; SmartTags; Autoformat as you type; Math Autocorrect] - Autocorrect grayed out except for Repalce etxt as you type.

From: Mark_XKR on 3 Feb 2007 08:31 Hi Patrick Thanks for your reply. The Office button is only available when I select a new message or when reading a message. And the options shown do not incldue Editor Options. In Outlook there is just the standard menu bar (no Office 2007 enhanced menu). Is there a way to enhance the Outlook interafce to include the Office button?

From: Patrick Schmid [MVP] on 3 Feb 2007 10:47 The ribbon only exists for Outlook items, not the main window of Outlook. If you open a new message, click the Office button, then editor options, then proofing, you should see what I was referring to.

From: Mark_XKR on 4 Feb 2007 01:49 Hi Patrick OK - Clicked on Editor Options and this is where they are grayed out. The bottom section of the proofing options titled 'When correcting spelling in Outlook ' is all grayed out. In that dialog if I click on the button 'Autocorreect Options' all options and tabs are grayed out except for 'Replace text as you type'. Is there a way to activate these options?
