MAIL

Spell checking mail
You can check spelling in one message, or you can have IBM® Lotus® Notes® automatically spell check all messages before sending them.

To check spelling in a message

1. (Optional) To check the spelling of just selected text in the message, select the text in the body of the message.

2. Click Tools > Check Spelling. When Notes doesn't recognize a word, Notes displays the Spell Check dialog box. For information on its options, see Spell checking documents.

To check spelling in a message as you type

Click Tools > Instant Spell Check. When Notes doesn't recognize a word, it displays a wavy red underline beneath the word. Click the word for more options.

To spell check all messages automatically

In this case, Notes does not check spelling as you type; it checks spelling when you send the message.

1. Click More above the message or message list, and then click Preferences.

2. Select Spell-check messages before sending.

3. Click OK.

Note If you set this preference from an open message, the setting will not be in effect if you send that message, but will be in effect for future messages you send.
