In Outlook, there is the option of using Word as the editor when composing messages. And there is the option to spell check composed messages also. Why is it that it seems that the resuls of spell check differs whether Word is used as the editor?

Just as a guess, they may use different dictionaries. We discourage using Word as an e-mail editor. It results in a much larger file and had caused some flaky problems in the past.

We use Word as our E-mail Editor right across the world, we have upgraded to office 2K7 last year, I find it works very nice and I don't see a lot of OUTLOOK problems in our KB, I encourage it. it allows for great looking E-mail, we are lucky as our limit is 75Mb per Email but we have invested a lot in our robust network to crush our competitors hehehe (OCS FTW)

I thought that might be the case.

When "wert" is spellchecked with Word as editor, it is detected as an error. But when the same word is spellchecked without Word as editor, it is not detected as error....

Well, I don't believe Word is completely perfect Editor but for the most part it does a great job! I have my settings set to max and it seem to catch most of my mistakes but I have ran into issues where it see a errors and there is none. In most cases it is a Language error, like the word Cheque and Check and I am sure hundreds more. Uk, Canada and US have slightly different wording. As for any errors these are Rare, and I work with hundreds of 2k7 users and before that 2k and 2k3. But i do remember a problem where I had to turn off the word editor to fix the issue, didn?t spend to much time to sold the problem, when i had time I Re-imaged FTW!!! hehhe 1 our to 500 isn't so bad. and it was in 2K3 office not 2k7
