I recently installed Office 2010 on my desk top computer, working really well but spell check isn't happening. I got out my lap top, where SC is working, compared settings, all the same boxes are checked but no squiggly red lines under misspelled words.
Any ideas, or should I reinstall the software?
Thanks,

Do you have MS Word 2010 installed on that same pc? Some of the spelling options are available only when you have the same version of Word installed.

And the rest of the Professional Suite...

Does the spellcheck work fine in Word? Also, when you're typing a new message, does the spellcheck work if you manually run the Spelling & Grammar checker?

I would first double-check and make sure that Check spelling as you type is enabled.

1. Click the File menu.
2. Click Options.
3. Click the Mail tab.
4. Click the Spelling and Autocorrect button.
5. Make sure that the option "Check spelling as you type" is checked.

I've checked both Word and Outlook for the auto correct options, they are checked in both apps. Odd thing is certain common words will 'auto correct' as I'm typing, without the squiggly red lines showing up, but when I purposely misspell something, no red lines and when I hit spell check, it say in both apps that all spelling is correct.

I even tried 'repairing' Office by doing the 'repair' version of reinstalling, nothing changed.
