spellcheck in Outlook 2003?

[Random717]

I got a user with a wierd problem, he is using Outlook 2003, with MS Word as the default mail editor. When typing an email, it picks up no spelling errors, ie none of those squiggly red lines appear. I then select tools, spell check, and it says it has finished checking the document, no errors detected. If I copy paste the same text into Word itself, all the errors are immediately picked up.

Now here's the confusing part..., if I turn off spell check in Word, it starts to work in Outlook

Any ideas? Haven't tried reinstalling yet, because I can't find my cd

Odd. Try changing the spell check settings in Outlook options. Perhaps it has disabled some settings. Also check the default dictionary.

you can also go into run and type this in type (without the quotes) "regsvr32.exe %windir%\system32\ole32.dll"

Go to your start menu>go to microsoft office>look for an option that says restore office defaults, or something like that>have the office disc ready for in case>start outlook and wait for it to configure itself,

It should be okay

I tried changing the settings, to no avail. I think it's because it loads Word to edit the mail, so it should use Word's spellcheck settings.

Word is loading fine, but I'll try it anyway.

I still need to find my CD. Then I'll give it a try.

Thanks guys
