Mac Wkst: Can't Check Spelling of Mail Messages (62525)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 2.0
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 2.0a
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 2.0b
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.0
This article was previously published under Q62525 SUMMARY
Microsoft Mail does not come with a spelling checker; therefore, there
isn't a way to check the spelling of words within a Microsoft Mail
message.
MORE INFORMATION
This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a
future release.
To work around this limitation, copy the text from the body of the
message to the Clipboard (or to the Scrapbook). Then paste the text in
an application that checks spelling (for example, Microsoft Word or
Microsoft Works). Once the spelling of the text is checked, copy and
paste it back into the body of the Mail message.
Another approach is to edit the message text in another application,
check its spelling, then copy and paste it into the body of the Mail
message.
Please note that some third-party spelling checkers appear to work in
conjunction with Microsoft Mail. For example, Thunder 7 version 1.0
from Baseline Publishing (formerly Thunder II from Electronic Arts)
appears to work with Mail. (Note: This product is manufactured by
vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.)
NOTE: Microsoft Mail cannot use dictionaries from other applications.
