Hi!

I apologize in advance if this is something that is common knowledge, but I
have not been able to hit on the magic Google word combination to find my
answer if such is the case.

I use Outlook 2003 with Word 2003 as my email editor. The machine runs XP
SP2. All updates for all programs are in place.

In my spell check settings, I have always had the settings set to check
spelling before sending the message and to ignore the original text in
replies and forwards. Recently it has started to check the original text as
well. I have tried "cycling through" the settings (un-checking the "check
original text" option, closing Outlook), restarting, re-checking the tick
box, closing Outlook, then re-starting) with no joy. I have also tried this
process with a reboot instead of just closing Outlook. Again no joy. I
suspect a corrupt registry setting but don't know where to look. Any
suggestions are appreciated.

TIA.

FWIW, I don't use Word as my e-mail editor so I'm not sure if Word settings
influence spell checking behavior.

It will observe your settings only once, so if you reopen to edit the
message, the whole message will be rechecked. I just select Cancel when it
comes up and select Send Anyway.

Unfortunately, that isn't my problem. It checks the entire message the
first time it's opened (for reply, forward, or anything else). I tried the
detect/repair function with no joy. The funny thing is that this just
started happening. I'm not sure that it's relevant (and less sure that it's
even true), but there is a chance that at some time in the process I may
have selected the "use Word for rich text" check box. It is not selected
now. Is that one of these keys? If not, if someone could point me to that
I'd try changing its value just for grins. Again, TIA, as this is a major
pain given the number of emails I handle combined with my poor typing skills

Just "bumping" this post to see if there are any ideas out there. It never
used to check the whole email string but now does. It's not something that
I can identify that I have changed on my end. Very perplexing and annoying.

Again, TIA for any further suggestions.

Bob, have you had any joy finding the answer to this?
I'm having the same problem.

I just run spell check until it finishes my document and when it starts
checking the forwarded document just cancell spell check and it will ask you
if you want to send it any way. Then just hit yes and there it goes without
checking all of the original mumble jumble.
