Dear users:
I frequently use outlook express both in spanish and English and as such I need a Spanish spell checker ( English is included).
I'd like to have both English and Spanish chekers enabled as it does in word, anybody has an idea?

Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express?

In the Express version you have to handle that manually but, in Outlook, it
should automatically react for you if, as you say, you already have the
Spanish dictionary installed in Word. I personally use English and Portuguese
and my Outlook senses the language that I am writing in and automatically
adjusts the spelling. It sounds like you are using the Express version which
is somewhat limited.
 
Just re-read your post and realized that you indicate using Outlook Express.

In the Express version you have to choose the language prior to writing your
note in order to use a different dictionary. As I said in my previous note,
Outlook handles it automatically, but the Express version does not.

Hope this helps.
 
How does one set the Proof or Spell-checker in Outlook to sense the language
automatically?

In MS Word I can do the German spell-check and it finds automatically the
language.

But why does that not work in MS Outlook which is what I use for e-mail
composition and mailing?

I use Outlook 2000 Professional.
