spell checking - showing a red wavy underline?

[abbyw]

Hi

I'd really like to see a red wavy underline under words that Outloo
thinks are misspelled. Currently, Outlook fixes mistakes like "teh" t
"the", but seems to ignore words it cannot work out.

I can set it to spellcheck the email before sending with a crapp
wizard interface, but I just want the red wavy underline, so I ca
decide if it's ok or not (and ideally, a right click to sugges
fixes).

Is what I want possible with outlook?

Thanks

abb

Actually, yes it is, but only when you use Word as the message editor in
Outlook.

Hi Abby,
Check out As-U-Type (http://www.asutype.com) - it is a system level
spell checker so it works with ALL applications including Outlook. It
checks spelling as you type (hence the name ), corrects trivial
mistakes automatically and red underlines errors it cannot work out
(but keeps them for a later review so you can actually train it and
have it automatically correct them in the future). Very neat piece of
software, one of my all time favorites.
