SYMPTOMS
When you use Outlook Express and type in the German language, the spelling checker may not work as expected.

 * 1) Write your e-mail message in Word.
 * 2) Press F7 to check your spelling.
 * 3) On the Edit menu, click Select All.
 * 4) On the Edit menu, click Copy.
 * 5) Start Outlook Express, and then create a new e-mail message.
 * 6) On the Edit menu, click Paste, and then send your e-mail message.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
