TSGL: Spellcheck in Windows Mail

[edLynn]

Don -

I use Word all the time when composing important emails, because there is so 
much formatting I can do with it.

I use Word 2003, but I would assume that MS hadn't taken away some of the 
basics, as the years went on.

On the opening toolbar, there is a direct connection to your email client 
via an icon. Hover the mouse and it will say 'email', just save it fist 
(another icon).

Word has a good spell checker on the toolbar, that you can set to work as 
you type.

Also,  the right click context menu has a 'sendto'. I use 'mail recipient's 
there.

You can also 'fax' the thing.

The right click menu also has a 'translator option, which is more like a 
dictionary, I believe.

And you are so right about overkill. Everytime I use it(daily), I forget 
where I had seen something, or other,  to do something, or other,  and I end 
up saying to myself, =@#$%^&^

Isn't there software that instantly converts one language into another? I've 
seen it with English, French, Spanish, and Italian. Maybe Google has that 
one in is back pocket:)

Enjoy your surfing; we have 85 in S.E. Florida today.
