Teach Outlook spellchecker how to handle 'i.e.'

B

Brian

If "i.e." is entered in an email correctly, spell checker will focus on the
'i.' and suggest a to change to "i.e." which, if accepted, ends up as
"i.e..e." in the sent mail. If it is typed "ie" (incorrectly), spell checker
will suggest the correct versioin and fix it properly. It would be nice if
you wrote a bit of code to allow checker to recognize "i.e." as correct.
Pretty picky, eh?

You can add i.e. to your spellchecker's list of acceptable spellings if you
choose to so it won't bother you anymore.
