Spell check in Outlook Express

[shoesup]

I am using Outlook Express, Win 98SE and MS Office 2000. When I compose an e-mail message (to send to a friend), and then ckick on TOOLS, SPELLING - it only checks the spelling of words in the body of the message, and not in the SUBJECT field !!!

How can I change the settings so that the spell checker checks the spelling of words in the SUBJECT field???

(At the present time, under TOOLS, OPTIONS and SPELLING, the only box that is checked is: "Suggest replacement for misspelled words.")

Thank you

I tried for a few minutes, and nothing worked for me either. . . I even tried highlighting & selecting the subject field & then pressing F7 for SpellCheck, and it doesn't care what you put in the Subject field. [Even if you put the same misspelled text in both the Subject and the Message area, only the mispellings in the Message area are found and corrected]. Might just be designed that way.

You could always check over in the MS Knowledge Base, in case there's a keyboard shortcut that overrides this behavior.
