DOCUMENT:Q95733 10-NOV-1999 [pcmail] TITLE :PC Win: Spell Does Not Check Words Containing Numbers PRODUCT :Microsoft Mail For PC Networks PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The spelling checker in Microsoft Mail version 3.0 for Windows does not check words that contain numbers. Therefore, a misspelling such as "Th8s" is not flagged as incorrect. CAUSE ===== The spelling checker API has the ability to turn on or off the "Ignore checking of words with numbers" option. Mail forces this option on and does not allow you the ability to turn it off. This feature is by design.
