| Guest | cannot turn on spell checker in windows mail My problem is that the spelling dialog box does not have either an "OK" button or an "Apply" button. So, even when I select the "check spelling before sending" box, and try and change the language selection, it does not apply, and if I close the dialog box and reopen it my selectlon is gone. I get the same error message. I wonder if I have to reinstall Vista, since Mail is part of Vista. -- John |

| Guest | RE: cannot turn on spell checker in windows mail Gary writes, and it does work Don Click Tools/Options/Spelling Tab. In the language dropdown select another language & click 'Apply'. Reselect your language, click apply and ok. Should work. Gary H. "John" wrote: Quote: > My problem is that the spelling dialog box does not have either an "OK" > button or an "Apply" button.

| Guest | RE: cannot turn on spell checker in windows mail I have no doubt it does, but my problem is that I do not see a "apply" or a "ok" button in the dialog box and hence cannot fully complete the task of selection -- John "Don Meddie" wrote: Quote: > Gary writes, and it does work > Don > Click Tools/Options/Spelling Tab.

| Guest | Re: cannot turn on spell checker in windows mail The Apply/OK buttons are at the very bottom of that window. Are you seeing the bottom edge of that window? Your screen resolution may be set too low. Ty hitting Tab a couple of times to see if it will tab down to those buttons. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "John" <John@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:E287ED49-8525-4888-A016-4F90A6765F9F@xxxxxx Quote: >I have no doubt it does, but my problem is that I do not see a "apply" or a > "ok" button in the dialog box and hence cannot fully complete the task of > selection > -- > John > > > "Don Meddie" wrote: > Quote: >> Gary writes, and it does work >> Don >> Click Tools/Options/Spelling Tab.

| Guest | Re: cannot turn on spell checker in windows mail Gary, thank you, thank you. It worked. I have not quite figured it out yet, but when I auto-hid my taskbar, the Apply/OK button turned up and I was able to get the spell cheker turned on following your instructions. I truly appreciate your fast and correct response. -- John "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: Quote: > The Apply/OK buttons are at the very bottom of that window.

| Guest | Re: cannot turn on spell checker in windows mail You're very welcome. It sounds like your screen resolution should be set a little higher, so you will see more of the dialog box. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "John" <John@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:380EA9FD-65F2-40F1-93C1-DFA2EB6F7D72@xxxxxx Quote: > Gary, thank you, thank you.
