Spelling Tools

Microsoft Outlook and the full Exchange Server client have spell checking built in. Exchange 2003 and 2007 include spell checking for Outlook Web Access (OWA).

Spell checking in the operating system versions of Microsoft Exchange and Windows Messaging normally requires a 32-bit version of Microsoft Word or Works. If you installed Exchange/Windows Messaging after Word or Works, run Word or Works setup again to enable spell checking in Exchange.

Outlook 2007 users may be missing spell check dictionaries in Outlook Express. See Office 2007 and OE Spell Check for more information and a work-around.
