Well, my version of Microsoft Outlook does not know this. It will allow
me to type in that field. My big complaint about Outlook is that I can
not see the sentence where the mispelled word is as I can in Word. I
used to be able to do this but somewhere a couple of years ago it
changed.

Another P.S.
Concerning typing in that field where OE shows you the misspelled word
or
its suggested correction. This morning, it's not letting me type there.
Jaws is saying "read only" to describe the field. Maybe I forgot, and
it's
only in Word where you can edit this field. sorry.
