Spell Check Error Messages in Windows Mail

I type fast for speed and trust Spell Check to review messages before sending
them. Out of the blue, I started getting "The spell check was halted on this
document. Do you want to send anyway?" message.

I unchecked the box in Tools which I had been using to check spelling before
sending and tried using Spell Check after I had typed my message and before
hitting the send button. I get this message when I try that: "An error
occurred while the spelling was being checked."

So, I tried higlighting the message and hitting spell check and got the same
message as the one just above this.

Help, please. I need my spell check and I don't want to have to have two
programs open to be able to check my spelling in my messages. Currently I
have to write in Word, check the spelling, then copy and paste to Windows
Mail. This takes way more time than I need to take. I am a national
secretary for a dog club and I get and respond to several hundred emails a
week for the club alone -- not counting my own personal and business emails.

I have no idea why it quit working as I have always had the auto spell check
on since I got this computer -- a little over a year ago.

Check Check spelling as I type. Misspelled words are underlined the same as
in Word. Your typing will not be interrupted to correct a spelling error.

You might try the usual fix for spelling check problems
in Windows Mail and see if it also works in Windows
Live Mail: Change the language for the spelling check
to something else, then change it back. I've never
needed to try this under Windows Live Mail, so it's
just a guess.

Hi, Sophie.

If you REALLY mean "Windows Mail", then you are in the wrong newsgroup. WM
is included in Vista and won't (normally) run in anything else. Windows
LIVE Mail is not included in any version of Windows, but it can be
downloaded (for free) and installed in WinXP, Vista or Win7. WM and WLM are
NOT the same program. THIS newsgroup deals with WLMail. For Windows Mail,
you need:
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail

But hurry! Microsoft has announced that BOTH these NGs will be closed next
week, on 9/12/2010. :>(

There are several versions of WLMail in use today. And Spell Check behavior
has changed between the builds. And, since you posted using the Web
interface, not with a news reader, we can't tell which build you might be
using. So, even if you do mean WLMail, please tell us the specific version
you have. (I'm using the latest build as shown in my Sig.)
