SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Outlook does not find misspelled words in the Subject box of an item.



CAUSE
You are using a custom form and the first page of the form was changed. When Outlook switches into design mode, a new control is created for the Subject field. The spelling checker feature is unable to access the original control for the subject and therefore the subject is not checked for spelling.



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



MORE INFORMATION
When you use a non-customized e-mail message or post form, Outlook checks the spelling in the Subject box in addition to the Message and Notes fields.
