M$ Outlook 2003 - SV650.org

ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

And breathe......now that's much better.

Anyway, I've a problem with MS Outlook 2003 that is doing my head in. In the preferences, I've set the spell checker to use English(UK). I've also set the check spelling before sending option. However, when the spelling is checked inside the mail message, it defaults to English(US). It also auto-'corrects' english spellings to american ones as I'm typing.

I know I could just turn the spell checker off, but as it's my business email, I prefer to appear at least moderately educated.

Any ideas how to get the stupid software to understand that I want it to check spellings in the UK flavour of english?

Jo -> If I can't use Outlook, what hope do I have with Sage?

Check to see that the country/language is correctly set in the 'Regonal Settings' in the CP.

Hmm.....Big hammer is always an option.

Have checked regional settings, and all are set to Eng(UK) except for advanced option of language for non-unicode programs which is set to Eng(US).

I've tried changing it, but it wants the CD-Rom........so I'll have to dig that out and see if it makes a difference............

Ok go into word and change the dictionary and press 'Default'. That should sortit.

By default, if you have it installed, you will compose your emails in Word. A different application with very very different settings - so check that first.

What BillyC said.

Outlook is probably set to compose emails using Word. Make sure your Word dictionary and other settings are set to UK English

Tis working now

MS Word was set to the correct language. I went back to the email settings and changed the 'compose in' option from HTML to rich text, then checked the 'Tell MS Word to butt out when I'm composing emails' option.

Seems to have done the trick nicely.

Thanks everyone.
