Cassy, I think that you need to do the following: 1. Select Tools 2. Select Options (last item on the list of choices under Tools) 3. Select Spelling (on the row of tabs at the top the Options box) 4. Click on the box alongside "Always check spelling before sending" 5. Click on OK Hope this works OK for you. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year - and Good (ancestor) Hunting! Ken.
