how do i automatically word process, ie spell and grammar check, as i type?

[Penny S]

i have just 'upgraded' from Outlook Express (?) to Windows Mail and i cannot
discover how to automatically word process my messages, ie automatically
spell and grammar check as i type. in the past, i had it set up so that
Word was my email editor.

any help would be gratefully received.

Not available with Windows Mail in Vista.

Try a 3rd party free program:

TinySpell:

Although Windows Mail has a good spell checker, it does not
check grammar. You can't use Word as your email editor for
Windows Mail.

You can't use Word as an editor in Outlook Express. You can in Outlook, but
not Outlook Express, unless you had a hack that allowed it that I don't
know.
