| | Spell Checker Why does the spell checker in WLM "sometimes" change font and size when making corrections. I generally use Arial 12pt for default text in email. Sometimes, not always, when spell checker makes a correction, it will change the font to Times Roman and 10 pt. Not a big deal, but can be a PIA when in a hurry or after typing a long email and then having to scan whole body for font changes. -- Thank You, Tony Collums JLS International, Inc. 6006-B Old Pineville Road Charlotte, NC 28217 Ph: (704)679-9575 Fax: (704)679-9574 Cell: (704)578-3286 tcollums@xxxxxx |

| | Re: Spell Checker Related to this, how can I change the spellchecker to use UK English instead of American spelling? I have changed it in IE7 but WLM continues to use an American disctionary.

| | Re: Spell Checker Yes it is. You may think I'm mad - but I actually like SPAM. It never ceases to be a source of entertainment. Some of the 'begging for my bank details' SPAMS are hilarious.
