Sorry, John. I don't have a clue. I guess the only other thing you could try is to backup your outlook stuff, uninstall outlook completely and reinstall it. There has to be something faulty in the install if it keeps breaking. Or you could try deleting the spelling folder in your proofing tools key in the registry, and see if that fixes it. Office will just make a new one when you open an Office program. But, I don't remember if you answered my question as to whether or not spellcheck was working in the other programs. If it's just busted in outlook and not the others, then I don't think this would fix it. Wish I could tell you more.

I did the detect and repair and it fixed it, but now it's broken again. Any ideas why this keeps breaking? No one else in my office consistently has this problem. Thanks. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
