spelling vs formatting

[Guest]

In W2K, OL 2002.

As long as Word is the e-mail editor, it disregards the setting to ignore
the text of original message in replies and forwards. There seems to be no
way to avoid checking the original message except by firing Word as editor.

The Problem: I need to be able to use subscript, trademark, and copyright
symbols. These features do not seem to be available without Word.

Is there a work-around? Many thanks.

When you have Word as the editor the spelling and grammar checking is
instant. Also as soon as it starts checking the original message you can
close the dialog and send the message.

Hi, Robert.

I think you may have answered somebody else's question here. I'm not sure
where to look for the answer to mine. Maybe you could repeat it here?
Thanks.

Oh. I see what you are getting at. But no, that won't work. Try it
yourself and see.

It works for me with Outlook 2003. Where does it go wrong for you?

It then advises me that the spellchecking has been stopped. (duh!)

And it politely asks if I wouild like to send it in spite of this obvious
error on my part. It makes me feel like it thinks I'm Wooster!

And I have to make the effort to explain that yes, I would like to send it
anyway, even though I am ignoring its better judgement.

Perhaps I would have more patience if I had an inkling of the rationale for
or functionality of spell-checking the original. Do you have a clue what it
might be?

Does your spell check work at all? When it doesn't find any errors it will
send immidiately for me.

I also find that it does ignore the original message.

I keep feeling as though you are responding to some one else in the room, and
not to me.

Let me get this straight:
1) You have Word set as your (Tools/Options/Format/Message Format) editor.
2) You can type (c) or strike Alt,Cntl + c, and it generates a c-in-a-circle.
3) You can strike (tm) or strike Alt,Cntl + t, and it generates a
superscript TM.
4) When you go to Format/Font, you have the option of subscript.

AND it does not spellcheck the message you are responding to?

send immidiately for me.

That is correct. Note that I work with Outlook 2003SP1, I cannot check it
for you with Outlook 2002 at the moment.

VERY cool.
Maybe it is something that has been fixed. I cannot find any setting that
will allow that level of font formatting and NOT ckeck the original message.

But maybe there is still some other setting that I can tweek. What do you
have set at internet options/programs?

Do you have any ideas of where else there might be a setting that might
affect this?

Thanks.
