Spell Check Settings
in [General]

From: Bob Horton on 8 Nov 2006 10:40 Hi! I apologize in advance if this is something that is common knowledge, but I have not been able to hit on the magic Google word combination to find my answer if such is the case. I use Outlook 2003 with Word 2003 as my email editor. The machine runs XP SP2. All updates for all programs are in place. In my spell check settings, I have always had the settings set to check spelling before sending the message and to ignore the original text in replies and forwards. Recently it has started to check the original text as well. I have tried "cycling through" the settings (un-checking the "check original text" option, closing Outlook), restarting, re-checking the tick box, closing Outlook, then re-starting) with no joy. I have also tried this process with a reboot instead of just closing Outlook. Again no joy. I suspect a corrupt registry setting but don't know where to look. Any suggestions are appreciated. TIA. -- Bob Horton

From: Mary on 8 Nov 2006 14:24 It will observe your settings only once, so if you reopen to edit the message, the whole message will be rechecked. I just select Cancel when it comes up and select Send Anyway.

It checks the entire message the first time it's opened (for reply, forward, or anything else). I tried the detect/repair function with no joy. The funny thing is that this just started happening. I'm not sure that it's relevant (and less sure that it's even true), but there is a chance that at some time in the process I may have selected the "use Word for rich text" check box. It is not selected now. Is that one of these keys? If not, if someone could point me to that I'd try changing its value just for grins. Again, TIA, as this is a major pain given the number of emails I handle combined with my poor typing skills :) -- Bob Horton
