Is there a way to have Outlook spell check the content of signatures? Right now, I'm pasting into Word to check before I send.
Thanks

Outlook 2013 Signatures not showing up at all after transferring signatures from Outlook 2010

Hello,
first time on here asking a question needing help. I recently bought a new machine, windows 7 Pro and Outlook 2013. I successfully brought over my .pst files from my old machine running Outlook 2010, Windows 7. This was great and easy, got to keep
all my settings, rules, and private folders for Outlook 2010 right into Outlook 2013. Then it was time to move my signatures over, I did so with ease however when I went to my signatures in 2013, NOTHING was present, not 1 out of 30 signatures I have.
I sure dont want to rewrite each one over again. I restarted, made sure the signatures were in the right spot in Outlook 2013. I also tried putting the signatures in another folder and importing them in, nothing. What is the deal? Can someone please
tell me what I'm doing wrong or has anyone had this issue? Please help. and thanks.

Just to check, so you went into C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures on your old machine and copied ALL of the files & folders you found there, and moved them over to the same folder location on your new machine.
After doing that when you start Outlook and look in File, Options, Mail, Signatures you see nothing listed under "Select signature to edit" at all?

Outlook 2013 signature issue

Hello,
I'd be very grateful if someone could help with the following query that I received from a colleague. This issue was raised after I asked all members of staff, to standardise their email signatures.
"I followed your script for this: my image comes out bigger than yours?"
My instructions (the script) was:
Copy the attached .jpg image to your desktop
Select ‘FILE’ from the main navigation
Select ‘Options’ from the drop-down menu
Select the options for ‘Mail’ in the left hand column
Select ‘Signatures’ from the right hand column
If you’ve not already set up a signature, select “New”, give the signature a name and select “OK”
Having selected the name of the signature you want to edit, insert or update the text and image in the space provided.
Format the text, along the lines of my signature block below, adding or removing any elements (fax no, direct line, DX address etc.) according to your individual preferences
Set the defaults relating to when you’d like the signature to be used.
Any guidance about why the image is coming out larger when sent from a different email account/PC would be very welcome.
Many thanks,
Richard

Hi,
There is a setting in Outlook 2013 that may reduce the size of images, if you have ticked this option, the email that you send may display the image smaller than the one other people send.
In Outlook 2013, click FILE -> Options -> Mail -> Message format -> Reduce message size by removing format information not necessary to display the message. Uncheck this option and click OK.
Now send the email again to check the result.

Spell Check for OutLook Express ?

Does anyne know of a free download that can I can install that will work with OutLook Express 5 that came with my G3 20GB Blue&White 500MHz SlotloadingCDRW.
The help section says I have to have MicroSoft Office installed ????
Thanks ( again ) Eric

I am aware of 2 spell check apps that you can use in OS 9 - Spell Tools & Excalibur. I used Spell Tools beginning with OS 8. I never used Excalibur. Spell Tools no longer is available for download, but if you send me an email (click on my Apple Name), I'll send you the installer. Excalibur can be downloaded from the link below.

Excluding VBA codes from grammar & Spell checker in word 2013

hi Guys
i am learning VBA & i write my notes & my exercises in a word document.
the problem is Grammar & spell checker shows VBA codes as errors.
i don't want to completely disable checker. is there any method or Add-on so that we introduce Correct VBA codes as correct sentences to word 2013 so that it doesn't show them as errors ?
thanks in advanced

i tested it but i noticed an strange behavior. it sometimes works but sometime doesn't. or sometime partially works.
for example i have defined a box as a border around the selected Area. this applies but although i have selected "do not check spelling or grammar" , system again shows spelling & grammar errors as you see in the screenshot. it's seen even
after i reapply style. any further help please?
Your screenshots have far too little resolution to see anything meaningful. I cannot see what Style you're applying the attributes to, or how you're using that Style. If you're applying the Style to text that's already in the document, you may need to run the
spell-checker to clear the 'error' underlining that was already there.
Cheers

i have created the "NOGrammarSpellCheck" Style correctly.
yes i had written some VBA codes in my doc, then i created my "NoGrammarCheck" Style & Applied it on the selected Exiting codes. but again errors are shown. i noticed that when i again click on my style to apply, know errors disappear.
so i found that if codes exit before, we must apply the
"NoGrammarCheck" Style Twice so that it completely be applied.
but if we Apply the style on a blank area in word doc & then paste our VBA codes in that Area, now everything is ok & no grammar or spell check is shown.
am i correct ?

2010 OUTLOOK SPELL CHECKER

Outlook 2010 spell checker stopped working.
Its not auto correcting, or when you go to spell check it says all ok - when there are errors
i have checked the language is set ok, everything seems the same as it was
any ideas?

please check read actical from below link.
http://blog.lanlogic.net/blog/spell-check-in-outlook-2010-not-working/
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Choose-how-spell-check-and-grammar-check-work-71fd027a-be9c-42b0-8055-75f46324a16a

How to troubleshoot issues that Spell Check is not working in Outlook 2013

When composing a new message in Outlook 2013, we may notice that Spell Checker does not recognize misspelled words. When we enter a completely garbage word in Outlook, it won’t be marked as misspelled with a red wave underline. When encountering such issue,
we may follow the troubleshooting guide below to correct it.
1. Make sure you are not typing in the signature area.
Outlook doesn't perform a spell check in the signature area, so if this is the case, spell check won’t work. To confirm if you are typing in the signature area, right click in the area you are typing, if you see a menu listed all you signatures instead of
the normal context menu, then you are not typing in the email body.
If you want spell check work in signature area, use Quick Parts instead of Signature. For more information, see
Quick Parts.
2. Check the Set Proofing Language option.
In Outlook, click New Email to open a new message, click
REVIEW tab > Language > Set Proofing Language, a dialog titled
Language will open.
Please first make sure English (United States) is shown above the double line. If not,
you must enable the language for it to be available to check spelling.
Second, make sure “Do not check spelling or grammar” check box is not selected.
Note: If this method fixes the problem, repeat steps 1 through 3 to reopen to the
Language dialog box, and then click Set As Default.
3. Enable Check spelling as you type.
To enable the option in Outlook, go to File > Options > Mail, click Spelling and Autocorrect button. In the Editor Options dialog, select the check box labelled “Check spelling as you type”.
4. Make sure that you are not using a standalone version of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook.
The “Check spelling as you type” feature doesn’t work when using a standalone installation of Outlook or mixed versions of Word and Outlook. However, the manual spell check always works. In this scenario, we can set Outlook to
always check spelling before sending. To do this, go to File > Options > Mail, select the check box before “Always check spelling before sending” in the Compose message section.
5. A registry key exists overriding the spell checker
To remove the registry key, please follow these:
Important This article contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you
back up the registry before you modify it.
a. Press Windows key + R to open the Run command.
b. In the Run box, type regedit, and then press Enter.
c. Locate the following registry subkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Proofing Tools\1.0\Override
d. Delete or rename the subkey.
e. Exit Registry Editor. Restart Outlook.
6. Recreate the NormalEmail.dotm and Normal.dotm template
If the two templates above are corrupt, this issue may also happen. To fix it, please browse to:
drive:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Rename the two templates, then restart Outlook to see the result.
7. Problematic add-in
Add-ins may cause various issues in Outlook, so if you have tried all the suggestions and still no luck, try starting Outlook in safe mode to see if a problematic add-in is the culprit. To do this, exit Outlook, press Windows key + R to open the Run
command, then type outlook /safe and press Enter. If the problem disappeared in safe mode, then go to File > Options > Add-ins and disable the suspicious add-in to resolve the problem.

Not all locales come with a dictionary installed for licensing reasons. 
If you do not have the en-US locale then check that you have a dictionary installed (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and selected. 
 
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu. 
Also make sure that [X]"Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu has a tick. 
You can also try to toggle the "Check Spelling" item off and on again.

Outlook 2013 spell check

outlook 2013 spell check just does't work

Hello,
Please first make sure that you are not typing in the signature field, the spell check won't conduct when you are typing in the signature field.
If you are in the normal email body field, please click File > Options > Mail > Editor Options button > AutoCorrect Options button, make sure that the settings are set properly.
Also make sure you have checked the box labelled "Check spelling as you type" under File > Options > Mail > Editor Options button > Section "When correcting spelling in Outlook".
If above doesn't applies, exit Outlook, then try to find the NormalEmail.dotm template and rename it to
NormalEmail.old. Restart Outlook to check the result. By default, the
NormalEmail.dotm file is in:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates
Please let me know the result.

Bug? Mailto: in combination with Office 2013 Spell Checking.

Dear community,
For one of our sollutions we use the mailto protocol to send a hyperlink which users can use to automatically open a predefined new-email-window.
This works fine with Office Professional Plus 2010 [EN-US] (32bit) in combinatione with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2010 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit).
However, Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] (32bit), in combination with Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands (32bit), crashes whenever the spellingcheck is started.
The mailto-command we use to reproduce this problem is (enter command in Internet Explorer, open with Outlook):
mailto:[email protected]?subject=%20Actie%20vereist&body=%5b2103162%2f335159076094968874376260057075247208793%5d
During analyses we concluded:
- Office Configuration Analyzer Tool 1.2 (Full Scan) did not find any related issues.
- Spellchecker crashes while checking the text within the body.
- Uninstalling Microsoft Office Language Pack 2013 - Dutch/Nederlands solves the problem, but obviosly, we want to keep the Dutch spelling check functionality.
- Standard Englsh (U.S.) spellchecking functions without problems.
- This problem is reproducable on any computer running Office Professional Plus 2013 [EN-US] in combination with the Dutch (Nederlands) spelling check. Tried multiple hardware configurations (Intel based) and multiple OS's (Windows 7 Enterprise
(64bit), Windows 8.1 Enterprise (64bit), Windows 8.1 Pro (64bit). All with the same result.
Is there way to solve this issue, without loosing Outlook 2013 as client and Dutch Spelling Check capabilities?
Kind regards,
Leon Kandelaars.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reaction.
Q - Do you mean Outlook crashes when we click the Spelling & Grammar button under Review tab?
A - Yeah, if you try to edit the mail and have 'check spelling as you type' activated, it wil crash as well.
Q - If we copy the email body and paste it to a new email message, will this issue continue?
Does this issue happen with other Office 2013 programs? Please try to use 'spell check' in word and check if the same issue occurs.
A - If you copy the generated body to a new email or Word 2013, the spelling check will in both cases crash the application.
Q - In addition, we can also have a look at the event log to see if we can find anything useful.
A - The crash generates an "Application" "Hang error". I've generated 2 (1 with Outlook, 1 with Word):

Where is spell check and insert signature

ANGRY that when I access my company e-mail through Outlook Web Access, there is no ability to spell check and no way to insert signature.
So....do I have to check my e-mail on a PC to get these features...say it is not so.

Right click (if you have a 2 button mouse) or control-click in the window of safari. a menu will pop up.
You will see an option for spelling. You will go down to it and when you do you can open up the spelling window itself (first option), have it check the spelling in the text entry window (second option), or have it check it as you type (3rd option).
he signature is a different story. it will be an option in your companies web mail program. Look for settings there. Web mail programs have settings just as regular desktop mail does.
If that fails and there is no signature option then a solution would be to use stickies or a text editor to type up a signature then use copy and paste to put it in the end of your email (copy is command-c, paste command-v).

Outlook 2013: HTML stripped off email signature upon receipt

Unfortunately, none of the other questions are the same as the issue I'm having. My designer recently created an html signature with multiple hyperlinks. I have Windows 8 and Outlook 2013. I followed all of the instructions to properly
install the signature and the links are working just fine when I insert the signature into a new email. However, when I send myself a test email to make sure they will be working for the end user, when I open the email, the image is showing but the links
are no longer active or live?
My browser is set to default to IE and all of my message formatting is set to HTML. Is there something else that I'm missing
Please advise.

Hi Joy,
Try this.
Compose the signature in Outlook, insert the original image, resize it to the correct size, by dragging the image using mouse.
Compress using inbuilt Outlook tool, this should not degrade the quality of the image much.
Click the picture or pictures that you want to change the resolution for.
Under Picture Tools, on the Format tab, in the
Adjust group, click Compress Pictures.
If you do not see the Picture Tools and Format tabs, make sure that you selected a picture. You may have to double-click the picture to select it and open the
Format tab.
To change the resolution for the selected pictures only and not all of the pictures in the document, select the
Apply only to this picture check box.
Under Target output, click the resolution that you want.
Now, copy all and create a new Signature out of this.
Send out an email with this new signature and see if it works on OWA.
Ensure you are checking it on the same PC and the Web browser is on 100% zoom level.
In my case its appearing slightly smaller on Browser then on PC. Check if its same on different PCs as well.

Satyajit

Outlook 2013 - wrap text group policy applied, not working with or without digital signature

Hello,
I'm adding group policies to apply on our new installations of Windows 8.1 with Office 2013. One of the settings being applied is enforcing plain text emails and wrapping text at a certain number of characters. Policies are being added using the Outlook
2013 admx.
When I check the options inside Outlook 2013 the group policy did apply successfully (File, Options, Mail, scroll down to Message Format) The option to "Automatically wrap text at character:" is set to 132 and not adjustable as it should be.
In the group policy I have it set to wrap at 132 characters, but when I go to a client machine and send a digitally signed email, it wraps at the default 76 characters. This makes for very annoying short blocky emails and multi-line hyperlinks.
If I do not digitally sign the email then the text doesn't wrap at all! (until it meets the end of the window). So under no circumstances is it wrapping at 132 where it's supposed to.
Thanks,
-Nick

Hi,
What is your account type in Outlook? Exchange or others?
Please also let me know the email format that you are sending, Plain Text, HTML or Rich Text Format.
You can try sending the same emails in Outlook Safe Mode:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.

How do I spell check a signature once I've created it in settings?

I've created and saved the signature but it underlines my street and city. I don't know how to spell check it so I can make those go away.

If you have spelled all the words correctly then you can ignore this underlining because not all street names and city names are in the spell checking dictionary.
If you use such words frequently then you can add them to the dictionary via the right-click context menu (Add to Dictionary)

Outlook 2013 won't auto-save emails if encryption or digital signature is enabled.

In Outlook 2013, I recently noticed that although I have Autosave enabled, I never get drafts autosaved. The option is located in File > Options > Mail > "Save Messages" section > "[ ] Automatically save items that have not been
sent after this many minutes [3]."
Experimenting with why I have lost 2 long emails after system crashes, I discovered that Outlook 2013 will
only automatically save emails if the Encrypt and Sign buttons are turned off. By default, I enable both in our corporate environment. So I never benefit from auto-save. I've changed the Autosave location and tested various other settings to
no avail. But Autosave always works fine if there's no digital signature or encryption enabled.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is this a bug?

Hi,
I just tested on my Outlook 2013 and experienced exactly the same.
This is pretty much by design, actually you may find you are even unable to manually save these emails as drafts if encryption or digital signature is enabled. I can also confirm some email service providers don't allow saving Encrypted Emails
as drafts either, so this is not a bug but how it works in Outlook.

Outlook Express spell check language?

After not using OutlookEexp. for a while, I now find that the language in spell check if French? How do I change to English ? TY

Satellite P35-S6053
..has office 2007
Somehow someone??? changed the spell check langauge to french ?
Nobody did it. Office 2007 is the culprit.
Outlook Express has no spell checker of its own. Rather, it uses whatever it can find. When Office 2007 was installed, most of the spell checking files were replaced with versions incompatible with Outlook Express.
   You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you in...
Turns out that French still works.
Downloading a free spell checker is the simplest way around this.
Vampirefo is a popular solution.
   From Major Geeks
   From SnapFiles
Or you may like tinySpell, which checks the spelling as you type.
If you have a previous version of Office handy, see Office 2007 and OE Spell Check.
