Check Only My Spelling in MS Outlook 2007

In MS Outlook 2007 when you either forward or reply to a message the spell check will find errors and a lot of the time they are the senders mistakes and not yours. Who needs to check other people's mistakes? Here's a quick way to stop checking the other person's errors and just have yours corrected.

Go to Tools / Options, choose the Spelling tab and check off the "Ignore original message text in reply or forward". Big Grin
