:frown: The spell check feature in Outlook ceased functioning on my system. I believe Outlook uses the spell checker in MS Word and that function is working normally in that app. I'm not sure when this problem surfaced, but it may have been subsequent to downloading the latest XP fixes from MS. When I try to check spelling the message "An error occurred while the spelling was being checked" appears. I have tried restoring the system and even reinstalled XP but the problem continues. Anybody else notice this? Any ideas?
