SYMPTOMS
When you check the spelling in a message that includes words that have an apostrophe (for example, &quot;we'll&quot;), the spelling checker may flag the letters after the apostrophe (&quot;ll&quot;) as a misspelled word.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you run the spelling checker for a Rich Text Format (RTF) message while the insertion point (the cursor) is located just before an apostrophe in a word like &quot;we'll&quot;.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, before you run the spelling checker, move the insertion point so that it is not within a word that contains an apostrophe.

Formatting messages in HTML or plain text will also prevent this problem.



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