Outlook+2003+spell+check+is+not+working

Outlook 2003 is not automatically underlining incorrect spelling in red like Microsoft Word does.

This worked for me but there are other things to try as well:


 * 1) Open up Outlook and click **tools**
 * 2) Click **Options**
 * 3) Select the **mail format** tab
 * 4) Check the box beside //"Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages..."//
 * 5) Click **Apply Changes**


 * O**ther things to try
 * Check Outlook for updates
 * Open a new message, hit f7, select spelling and grammar options, ensure check spelling as type is selected
 * In Outlook select Help > About > Disabled Items > and ensure spell check is not listed
 * Spell check won't correct the signature file, so if the email is being written in the sig file the email will not be spell checked
