Strange Spelling problem

[Gordon]

Outlook 2002 on Windows XP with Word 2002 as Email Editor
In Word, default dictionary is UK English. In Outlook,
Options-Spelling-Default Dictionary is set to UK English.
WHY then, when I spell-check an Email, does it use the USA dictionary by
default?????????

Have you tried "repairing" your installation?

Also, when you are in Word and you spell check what does
it use (US or UK)? What is your default dictionary in
Word?

I did some testing and this happens to me to.

I believe that your normal.dot template is corrupt - this
contains your "language" settings (default) of UK. Exit
Word and Outlook and DELETE "normal.dot" - then go back
into Word it will recreate your normal.dot - then
reselect your default dictionary and then go into Outlook
and test a new message with the words "colour, favour,
neighbour, etc." - it should work.

In my testing it would appear that Outlook does NOT care
what dictionary you have indicated that you want to spell
in - it pulls it from Word.

Please let me know if this works for you.
