Checking the Spelling in a Message

By default, spell checking is not turned on in the Outlook 2000 client.

The following exercise will show you how to turn the spell checking option on.  Once the spell checking option has been enabled, Outlook will automatically check spelling each time you send a message, prompting you for corrections as needed. 

The Outlook spell checking feature works in a similar manor to the spell checking tool in MS Word.  You can add and remove words from the dictionary in order to personalize your Outlook experience.
