The Autocorrect function in Outlook 2003 (part of MS Office 2003 Pro) has
stopped working on one PC without any apparent reason.
All options for the functionality is properly checked - e.g. to
correct-as-I-type and capitalize-first-letter-of-sentences. But it don't
work.
Does not affect overall functionality but would like to get this back in
action. Sometimes I need help!
regards and TIA.

Are you using Word or the built-in editor when composing mail?

Using Word as the editor is selected.
Thanks.

Does autocorrect work properly when just using Word to compose a document?

Works perfectly in Word - it is only in Outlook that the functionality seems
to be dead. Tried changing the default editor within Outlook, also tried a
repair install of MS office 2003 Pro, and then also turned off all
auto-correct options and restarted application - re-enabled all, disabled
and re-enabled within Word itself; all to no avail!
Somewhat of a bother, this.

Were Word and Outlook installed from the same suite?
