Ok, so I have my Outlook all set-up at work, but the auto-correct won't work when I'm typing a message. In fact, it won;t even underline the misspelled words for me! As you all know, this could be disasterous for me, what with my crazy typing

How can I fix this? I asked our IT lady but she just did the same things I did to fix it without any luck. Auto-correct is turned on and works when I type in Word. It is also turned on in Outlook with the settings I want. I tried turning it off and then back on--no luck. I tried not using Word to edit emails--no luck. Turned back on Word to edit emails--no luck. What's the deal!?

I will forever be greatful to whoever can help me fix this problem!!!

Go to tools, Options, Mail Format tab. Click in the Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages box. That should take care of it.

Oops. Try the Spelling tab, make sure auto spell check is enabled.

Dip - the same thing happened to me one day. All of a sudden outlook stopped doing autocorrect and stopped underlining my misspelled words. Now I just need to remember I have to go to Tools, Spelling before I send e-mails. And trust me I sometimes dont and people are like did you spell check this?

P.S - I just got your message from a few days ago...check your inbox soon.

Further South than I wanna be.
This happens to me in groupwise every now and then. Usually rebooting takes care of it.
