Please accept my apologies. My question was tongue-in-cheek because while
setting up an email user recently we found that they had to use WOrd as the
editor to gain access to the spellchecker features. Apparently that was on
an earlier version of Outlook.
I did notice however, that you lose the underline misspelled words and auto
correct.
If it aint one thing, it's another.
Cheers.

Where is the spell checker in the Outlook editor?

I work in a corporate IT environment. We use Office2003 on
WinXPsp2. I have MS Word set up as my default email editor in MS
Outlook.
When I open outlook and close it without creating any emails
(without accessing Word as the editor) I have no problems.
When I open word and use it, then close it I have no problems.
However, when I open Outlook and create any email (regardless of
whether it is saved, etc.), then close Outlook (the individual
email already having been sent, saved, or deleted) I get the
following dialogue box:
-------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Office Word
Changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal. Do
you want to save those changes?
[Show Help]
[Yes] [No] [Cancel]
-------------------------------------------------------------
{it really says "Normal." I would have expected it to say
"Normal.dot", but maybe that pulls from the folder view setting
where I hide known file extensions?}
Regardless of my yes/no/cancel response, this dialogue box comes up
every_single_time I close Outlook after using email. This is getting
really annoying.
I've confirmed that the normal.dot template is local (not shared on
a server) by finding it in MS Office templates, deleting it, then
opening Word and verifying that Word recreates it in that directory.
Does anyone have any ideas what might cause Outlook to think it
needs to change the normal template every time?
Thank you,
Keith
