Sending email from MS Word document problem.

[Guest]

hi all,

i have my outlook 2002 (exchange version) set to html format and set it to
edit using ms word. when i create a new email from outlook this function
works fine but when i send an email from a word document this function doesnt
work. when i say send an email from word i mean >file>send as attachment.
does any know why this function doesnt work when sending from word or any
other office application? any help is appreciated. thanks in advance.

When you say "doesn't work" what do you mean? What happens?

okay lets say i create a new email through word as an attachment and then
start typing in the body of the email. when i misspell a word there should be
a red squigley line underneath it or if I use incorrect sentence structure it
should put a green squigley line underneath it. My email should be edited
using word just as if I was creating a new email through outlook. i hope this
is understandable.

In Word: tools | Options | Spelling and Grammar tab .. check the options to
correct as you type.
What are you composing in Word as stand-alone instead of using Word as your
editor for Outlook?
What versions of Word and Outlook do you have?
