How do I set the Outlook spell checker to check words in Uppercase and words
with #s??

Open WORD...yes Word.
Tools | Options | Spelling & Grammar tab and uncheck:

Ignore Uppercase
Ignore Numbers

(something to that effect)

Assuming the OP is using Word as the new-mail editor. If they are using
the editor embedded in Outlook, it's under the spelling options. The OP
never mentioned WHICH version of Outlook that he uses. Only OL2007
forces users to use Word. Prior version made it optional.

Using the KISS Method:

From within Outlook: Tools - Options - Spelling.

You will find what you need in there without having to open Word and
find it in that program.

the more clicking the better no? :-)

Outlook 2007 uses only Word as its editor (albeit a less-than-full version).

Yep. A stub of Word is included in the install of Outlook (unless, of
course, you're also installing Word as part of MS Office). Consider
Outlook 2007 as including a light version of Word and also forcing you
to use that light version of Word.

Amazing what can be found by searching Microsoft's own huge support
knowledgebase at http://support.microsoft.com. For example:

"Outlook 2007 uses only Word as the e-mail editor"

And you'd still be wrong.

You were the one that said "Even when Word is NOT AVAILABLE - as in NOT
INSTALLED? Please explain." Nothing to do with the spell checking
feature that started this thread. YOU wanted the explanation on why
Word would get used with OL2007 although not installed as a separate
component. You asked for an explanation, and then you pretend that it
doesn't matter. Do you often ask for explanations in which you have to
interest in obtaining?

Also, YOU never get to decide to be an MVP. You get nominated by an
existing MVP and then voted in as an MVP. You don't get a choice other
than accepting the nomination. Or are you pcbutts1 under yet another
nym that wants to pretend they are an MVP but never was and never will
be? If you weren't nominated and elected, you're just delusional. Go

Then why did *YOU* ask for an explanation? Duh!
