Don't flag URL's or emails
Any way to get Outlook 2000 to not flag URLs and emails as spelling
errors. like you can with Word's "Ignore Internet and file addresses" option. I just assumed Outlook use the same spell check code/engine, but apparently not. It seems to understand www and com, but stops on the other part of urls/emails, if they are not standard words. Examples: For "www.ibm.com", it will flag "ibm", but not www or com (I guess these are in the built in dictionary). For "www.house.com", nothing is flagged (house is a known word). For ", both john123 and zig are flagged for obvious reasons. |

If you mean "Outlook" and not "Outlook Express" then I'm fairly sure you can set it to use Word when composing email, and then you do get the Word spell check engine. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |

Yes I am using Outlook (not Express). I assume most people don't use Word to edit emails because of the overhead. Is that a common thing to do. I would prefer a solution that does not involve using Word. |

Most of the one person I know about does use Word, and I started using Word simply for the spelling checking (I'm an atrocious speller, and combined with a love of complicated words that's a deadly combination). I've even managed to get Word to flag "poser" as a mis-spelling (it's normally a valid word), so I don't have to worry about telling people to "turn the poser off before opening the cover". AFAIK if you want the Word spell checker, then you have to go for the whole deal. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |
