Where you saw that "use autocorrect options when Word isn't email editor", did you click on the Autocorrect Options button and see if "Replace text as you type" is checked? And did you look thru the list of Autocorrects in there and see if the one you want to work is listed there? If the answers to all of this are Yes, have you installed all the service packs for Office 2002? Look in Outlook's Help menu and click on About Microsoft Outlook...does it show SP2? Linda F.

I just checked the AutoCorrect options and "Use AutoCorrect when Word isn't the email editor" IS checked so I don't know what's going on. Is there another place I need to check this?
