Windows Live Mail Client 2009 Spell Check Auto-correct not working.

12. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
OS: Windows XP SP3. Email Client: Windows Live Mail 2009 (Build 14.0.8117.0146). OS and email client are up to date, according to Window Update.

Issues:
1. Fails to auto correct while typing.
Tools-->Options-->Spelling Tab--->Automatically correct common capitalization and spelling errors is checked while Always check spelling before sending was unchecked.

2. The spell check on this document was halted. Do want to send it anyway?
Settings on the Spelling Tab:
Always check spelling before sending;
Check spelling as I type (this feature works correctly);
English-US is Installed.

I read that you should choose between "Automatically correct common capitalization and spelling errors"
AND "Always check spelling before sending" as they do not work at the same time. Checking individually has not made a difference even restarting PC after change.

We have an  a few computers running the same OS and client as indicated above with the same issue.

Please respond if you have a resolution or even an idea of how to resolve this issue.

Thank You.

There is no way to run a spell check on an e-mail I am composing. It will catch some spelling errors, but many are very obvious and it lets them by.

When I compose a message, some misspelled words will be identified and underlined and when I right click on them an alternative spelling will be suggested.  However, I often find other words in the text that are grossly misspelled that are not identified and will be sent unless I spell check manually and catch them. I used to be able to click on an actual "spell check" icon to spell check the entire document after it was composed.  I don't understand why that feature would have been removed and a less desirable alternative put in.  Is there any way to run a spell check on an document before sending?
