spell check the whole body instead of the new message

[Guest]

I have one user who is using Microsoft Outlook 2000 and everytime that he
send a message the spell check goes through the whole body of themessage
instead of just the new message.

I have one user who is using Microsoft Outlook 2000 and everytime
that he send a message the spell check goes through the whole body of
themessage instead of just the new message.

If it spell-checks the entire body, it's because Outlook can't tell where
the original message ends and the new message begins.

 

[Guest]

I don't think it should matter since outlook recognize the beginning and the
end of a message. Beside i would like to experience it by putting a seperator
and see if it sees the difference.

Hi.
Tools/Options/Spelling has a setting to ignore the original message.
Unfortunately, that setting is ignored if you use Word as your editor.
If you go to Tools/Options/Message Format, and remove Word as your editor,
it will stop its compulsive spell-checking.
Does that work for you?

Hello Steph,

Thanks for the tip and on our end we did realize as well that if we keep the
editor on "Rich Text" Format it will check the whole body of the message and
by switching to word and/or html it will ignore the original message.

It sounds as though you are having better luck than I am.

Do I understand correctly:

You have word as your (Tools/Options/Format/Message Format) editor, AND it
does NOT spell-check the orignial message?

I can't find a setting combination that will allow me to have Word-like font
formatting, including subscript, and NOT spellcheck the incoming message.

I realize this is an old thread, but it speaks to my problem also. According
to Microsoft's
web site at office.microsoft.com in Assistance > Outlook 2003 > Working with
Text > Checking Spelling:

"The following spelling checker options that you set in Outlook apply to
both Outlook and Microsoft Word editors:

o Always check spelling before sending.
o Ignore original message text in reply or forward. "

I have the "Ignore original message text in reply or forward" checked and
original messages are still being spell checked. I tried the suggestion of
changing the "Rich Text" combo-box to "HTML", but I got the same results.

Can someone (an MVP or a Microsoft person) tell me why this function doesn't
work as documented?

Hi, Chuck.
They lie.
I post to this issue about once a year.
The operable question is not "why?"
The operable question is "how to work around it."
There may be others, but the settings that I have right now that have served
me well for a while are as follows:
in FORMAT -
Compose in HTML
DESELECT "use Word to edit" (this is the important one)
In SPELLING -
Now you can select "check before sending" and "ignore original," and they
will work.

You lose the Word formatting options, but, hey, at least it doesn't
spell-check the whole conversation thread.

ANYBODY LISTENING: Please let me know if there is any way to get WORD font
formatting w/o the universal spell-check.

Good Luck to us all!

Hi Stephanie,
Thanks for the reply. Glad to know I'm not alone in my frustration. I took
the route you suggested a while back, but I found the lack of Word formatting
capabilities in Outlook unacceptable. To echo your technique:

ANYONE LISTENING...WHY DOESN'T OUTLOOK SPELL CHECKING WORK AS ADVERTISED?
MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHY CAN'T IT? I'D RATHER SEE THIS DISCREPANCY RESOLVED BY
FIXING THE FUNCTION, NOT CHANGING THE DOCUMENTATION.

Where the h_ll is Microsoft Tech Support??? Come on, get a fix for this.
It's been like this for three versions of office, for crying out loud.

This does not work for me. I have the message format set to html and it
still checks the entire message, even though I have options set to ignore the
original.

I just run spell check until it finishes my document and when it starts
checking the forwarded document just cancell spell check and it will ask you
if you want to send it any way. Then just hit yes and there it goes without
checking all of the original mumble jumble.
