I have set the spell check to check emails as I write them (via Tools, Options, Spelling) but it just isn't working (my friends are getting some very odd emails due to my typing errors!) Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated

Thanks a lot. Up and running now. Would have preferred UK English but you can't have everything!

Do you have a dictionary loaded? Check the same page where you turn spell check on.
