outlook 2007 spell check

[Terri]

I am using outlook 2007 on Windows XP sp2 and spell check does not find
misspelled words. Spell check works fine in word, jsut not in Outlook. Any
suggestions?

If you ensure that the email editor is using Microsoft Word, then the
spellcheck will work. Check Tools>Options> and click the Mail Format tab.

Are you typing in the signature area? It won't spell check the signature
field. If you right click on the misspelled words, so you see the normal
context menu or a list of signatures?

I know there was a place in the older versions of Outlook to make word the
email editor. 2007 does not have that under tools, options.

No, not typing in the signature area, not using a signature.

Are you using Word '07? Spellers from older versions won't work.

 

[Terri]

Yes and spell check works with Word just not with Outlook.

I'm having issues as well. My other Office 2007 apps are working correctly
except for Outlook. My grammar and autofix work correctly but not my spell
check.
help!
