I'm at the mercy of the company I work for. Two years ago we switched our company's software to Microsoft Navision. Since, apparently, we were using pirated Windows software, the installation of Navision required the company to stop being cheapskates and actually purchase Windows. They installed Windows XP and upgraded the Microsoft Office (since that was pirated, too) and ever since then I've been screwed. I approached our IT dept, which consists of the head of accounting acting as some computer extraordinaire since she has the access to the funds necessary to purchase computer equipment, and that lead nowhere. So I've consulted various search engines and websites, and none of the suggestions have worked. Based upon my research, I assume my issues come from Outlook and Microsoft not being of the same version, hence why I'm out of luck. *sigh*

- 1. viewing "created by" in tasks and calendar in outlook 2003
Prior to installing outlook 2003 and sp2, I was able to view which delegate created a task or appointment by adding "originator" and "from" from the field chooser. Since the upgrade, originator and from only shows the "owner" and not the delegate who made the entry. What do I need to do/change? - 2. When closed, how to make Outlook send Outbox emails?
I have third party applications that will put emails into my Outlook outbox. I am using Quickbooks in particular, but the same thing happens in other applications. Using IE6, I also used "Send" to email a web page and the mail message is placed in my Outlook Outbox. The problem is that it sits there until I open Outlook. I don't always have it open because I use other mail tools. I have tried changing all of the settings to do with Send/Receive, but nothing seems to have an impact. How do I force Outlook to send the emails that are in the Outbox when Outlook is closed? - 3. Error Number 0x800ccc15 when sending receiving in Outlook
Suddenly, my computer has to be restarted every couple of hours, and I get this error message. Restarting seems to help. - 4. my message will not send

I have fat, deformed fingers thanks to a birth defect. Okay, not really. But it could happen. And spellcheck would be nice! It's not a matter of spelling. I'm only human and sometimes simply hit the wrong key and do not notice. Must be nice to be so perfect. Do you fart roses, too?

Honestly, any spell check would be nice! I've tried to use automatic, but that won't work. If I do it manually, it never catches errors. I only wish I were that perfect. I've reviewed the dictionary and there's nothing funky in there that I can see. Just not sure what else I can do. I'm good at pouting, though. So that's how I'm chosing to deal with it at this point :)

You say "upgraded the Microsoft Office", this indicates that any legitimate version the company can use will have Outlook 2007. Install it, and that will solve the issue.

That's what I don't understand. I USED to have Outlook 2007. But when they installed the legitimate software, it put me back to Outlook 2003. Sadly, I know I'm stuck with this. My "IT" lady has no idea what is happening and thinks I changed my settings. Not the case. Oh well. Thanks for the suggestions. And thanks for listening to me vent. I shouldn't be so unfair to Microsoft. Technology in general can be aggrivating!

Automatic spell check doesn't work unless you're using Word as the editor and clearly you're not due to the mixed versions, but the manual check should work. Unfortunately, I rarely use that particular function and so am not all that familiar with its internal workings. If you highlight a misspelled word (by double-clicking it), then click the Spelling button (or press F7), does it tell you of the misspelling? -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

I'd have a hard time working for a company that knowingly pirated software and would consider reporting them to Microsoft's antipirating department. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

1.proofing or spell check or grammar check not working in Outlook 20
I just got a copy of Outlook 2007 from my new Exchange host. I, being an Office Manager, installed this copy on several computers (I had the license to do so). However, the Autoproofing Options and Autoproofing in general don't work or appear. Meaning, I can type anything in my body and it doens't say/underline/indicate a spelling mistake or grammar issues. It doesn't correct anything. I tried accessing the Autoproofing Options, and they are all Greyed out on all computers. The only time I saw them not greyed out is when I started an Outlook with no email access. Alas, the body still did not autocorrect or spell check or grammar check anything. The only thing that works is Spell Check at the end before sending out the message or just clicking spell check. This sucks, who wants this as their only option, especially I abbreviate things and don't mind they are not spelled right. PLEASE SOMEONE FIX THIS! My Employees need this feature, they can't spell or type properly and they are dealing with BIG clients. (FYI, all computers have Word 2003, running XP). PLEASE HELP!
2.Automatic spell check not working in Outlook 2003 with Word 2007
I have read a number of the threads and postings about this issue (the automatic spell checker not working in Outlook 2003). I have Office 2007 Student/Home, and Outlook 2003 Professional. If Outlook 2003 requires the same version of Word in order to have automatic spell checking enabled, then Microsoft has really dropped the ball on this universally-used software, and one of its central tools (automatic spell checking). I have tried all of the suggestions in this forum (deleting registry keys [couldn't find them in my setup], add-ins, copy/paste misspelled text from Word 2007 into an Outlook 2003 email, etc.). Nothing has worked to jump-start the automatic spell checker again in Outlook 2003. If anyone has a solution to this problem, I would be most grateful for a reply. TIA, Steve
3.Upgrade 2003 to 2007: Automatic spelling error checking not working
I upgraded Office 2003 to 2007, and now automatic spelling error checking is not working. I checked the settings, spell checking is turned on, turned it off, turned it back on, still no automatic spell checking. Neither Outlook nor Word is working correctly. I have the language bar enabled, and I have two languages installed in Windows (Afrikaans and English US). I have a custom language dictionary installed (Afrikaans). If I manually select the language and manually spell check, the spell check works. Automatic spell chacking was working fine in 2003. Any ideas? Regards Pieter

5.Spell check preferences on, spell check not working
Hey, I selected preferences for spelling and grammar in Office 2007 Professional, but when I check spelling - none of my errors are caught. The grammar line will underscore where appropriate, the spelling line doesn't. Furthure more when I intentionally check and double check none of the errors are caught. Am I mising a preference selection?
