Many users have a problem with Outlook missing mispelled words. In many cases this happens because the person is typing in the signature field, either accidently or intentionally.
My signature block includes a salutation and signature
information beneath
it. Therefore, any text I type between the salutation and the signature
is
in the signature block. However, I can't get Outlook to spell check the
signature block. Is there a way to do this?
Avoid accidently typing in the signature area
The best way to avoid accidently typing in the signature area is to clearly mark where it begins. We recommend adding two dashes (--) as the very first line of your signature.
Why two dashes? They are defined in an RFC as the universal signature indicator. Many mail clients hide the signature in their reading pane or delete it when replying.
Workaround: Change the message's spell check settings
For those times you accidently type in the signature field and discover it at the end, you can easily change the spell check setting.
Now the whole message can be spell checked.
Solution: Use Autocorrect and Quick Parts (Autotext)
Rather than using signatures to insert blocks
of text, use autocorrect for content under 256
characters and
assign a unique keyword, like #sal (for
saulation). When you type the keyword it will be
replaced by the full text.
For longer blocks of text, use Quick Parts
(Autotext in older versions). This will allow you
to enter larger blocks of text.You'll need to
either pick the entry from the menu or type the
first part of it (enough to form a unique phrase)
and press F3.
