Hi, Anna.
The spell-check feature has gone through several changes over the past year
or two. For one thing, Vista's Windows Mail - and now Windows Live Mail -
has its own built-in spell checker, so it no longer uses the one in Word.
Now I'm using WLM (beta version 12.0.1184); it immediately highlights and
underscores (in red) any word that it does not recognize, as soon as I press
the space bar to end the word. As before, I can control the spell-checker's
behavior by clicking Tools | Options | Spelling. (I've been using WLM for
only a couple of weeks and already am forgetting the details of how WM did
it.)
