Check spelling as you type in Outlook

[Guest]

The feature "check spelling as you type" with red curly underlines that is
available in Word should be available in Outlook as well.
It would be a real time saver. It would be so much faster than checking the
spelling with the current spell checker. I know it is possible to do this if
you select Word as the e-mail editor, but I don't understand why it is not
built into Outlook (or any text box like the one I'm typing this into for
that matter).

because outlook uses a simple RTF editor that doesn't support it. Word,
especially in 2002 and2003, is a very capable email editor. Try it. Outlook
12 will have one editor- Word - so you might as well get used to it.

Well, I guess that is good news.
The current (Outlook 2003) integration of Word is pretty bad, but if it is
going to be the only editor I guess MS will have to make a seamless
integration that will work much better than now.
