Microsoft Outlook 2003 Spell Checker

I'm forced to use Outlook at work, and I have a couple of questions about the spell checker. The option of not using the spell checker is an option, but my spelling is so sufficiently bad that it's probably a better idea to use it...
Is it possible to get Outlook to just underline misspelled words as I type them, like every other application on the planet? My options appear to be no spell check, manual spell check, or automatically spell check as I hit send and ask me about every word it doesn't know.
In case the 1st isn't an option, is it possible to tell the spell checker something like "if it has punctuation in it, treat it as a valid word"? I'm a programmer, so if a word has punctuation in it, there's a REALLY good chance that it's something like
foo.orpy
get_cksum()and I don't need that to be spellchecked...

Is there any way I can change the spell-check and auto-correct Language of IE10/Windows8? It seems to want me to write Norwegian, but I usually write English.

Check the Control Panel. Which languages do you have installed? If you have only Norwegian, try adding English as well:
You can then switch languages from the language icon in the taskbar.
You can also press ⊞ Win+C to bring up the Charms bar, select Settings / Change PC settings / General and modify the Spelling and Language options as required:
BTW, here's a complete list of supported spellchecking dictionaries and language/locales in IE 10.
Update: How do you type and spell-check in one language, but use the keyboard layout of another?
The problem with switching the input language is that normally the keyboard layout also changes, which is irritating. Here's what you can do. Say you have a German keyboard layout but normally type in English (input language), and want English spell-check (proofing language) as well.
Add English to the language list and make it your primary language by moving it to the top. Now click the Options link:
Here under Input method you can Add an input method:
So now you can have English as the input/proofing language but German as the input method/keyboard layout. You can subsequently press ⊞ Win+Space to switch between available combinations:

The answer above is missing the most important part: how do you SWITCH languages in IE. After you have installed multiple languages, when you want to switch languages you use either the language bar or the language icon in the taskbar, right by the clock. You just click it and select the right language. All you type after that will be spell checked in the new language.

I just tried typing in English on the Sami Extended Norway (ÁŠERTŦ) input and couldn't type the word "want" because I could not find a W!
Then, with my language set to English, I added the Norwegian QWERTY keyboard.
Leaving my display language as English, I was able to type in English on the Norwegian QWERTY keyboard using the on-screen keyboard on my touch screen, and the spell-checker did its job correctly after I typed "bearsss" instead of "bears". So, if you have a Norwegian QWERTY keyboard, try the steps in my original answer to see if they help.
All of the keyboard languages are under input method in Windows 8. You change the keyboard language by changing the input method. Just as an example, for my regular imput method, I use the QWERTY keyboard. I use it in English. By following the steps I provided above, I add a QWERTY keyboard in Spanish, and then I am able to type ñ, ¿, and other characters that are not available in English. In Windows 8, Norwegian and Norewegian with Sami are available in QWERTY. Sami Extended Norway is available in ÁŠERTŦ.
If this is solution does not apply to your problem, I hope that at least it will help someone else.

Write something somewhere then right click on the word then spell-check options and choose the language you want if you have more than 1 on the list that opens.
If not add more in the control panel. :)
About the input (keyboard) language, press the Windows logo key + SPACE to switch between input methods. If you want to add an input method, go to Control panel > Clock, Language, and Region - click Change input method > Language (see the screenshot in Answer 2 above) - click Options next to the language at the top of the list > Language options - click Add an input method > Select the input method that you want, such as Norwegian, and then click Add. Press the Windows logo key + SPACE to switch to Norweigian, which you can use even when your primary language is not Norwegian.
If you have a touch screen, you can use the On-Screen Keyboard in Ease of Access to type in English, Norwegian, or any other language.

Mac Spelling and Grammar Checker
Many macOS applications check spelling as you type and correct errors automatically.
You can turn off this feature and use other spell checking options when typing email messages, text messages, and documents.
Using auto-correction
When checking spelling, the application underlines misspelled words with a red line and suggests replacements.
-
To change preferences, on your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
Open Keyboard Settings
-
Go to the Text Input section on the right and click Edit.
-
Turn on Fix Errors Automatically, then click Done.
To automatically capitalize the first word of a sentence or names (for example, St. Petersburg or Michael), turn on the Automatically Capitalize Words option.
-
Start typing in the application.
-
If misspelled words are recognized, do one of the following.
-
Acceptance of the proposed option.
If the app only suggested one substitution, just continue typing and the word will be corrected automatically. If more than one option is offered, select the one you want. -
Ignoring the proposed options. Press the Esc key, then continue typing.
-
Cancels an automatically applied fix. The automatically corrected word is briefly underlined with a blue line. To restore the original spelling, place the cursor directly after the corrected word - the original spelling will appear on the screen. Select it. You can also press the word while holding down the Control key. The original option will also appear on the screen and you can select it.
-
To turn off auto-correction in a particular application, open it, select the menu item Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Auto-correct errors (if this box is not displayed, auto-correct is turned off).
Even if the application's Edit menu doesn't have a spell checker or grammar checker, check the application's settings or menu to see if it has its own spell checker.
Pressing F5 while entering text will display word suggestions (depending on your Mac model, you may also need to press the Fn key). If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can choose to show input options in the Touch Bar in Settings.
Check spelling and grammar
In apps on your Mac, do any of the following.
-
Spell check. Choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Check Document Now. The first error is highlighted. To move to the next error, press Command-semicolon (;). Control-click a word to see suggested spellings for a word.
-
Grammar check. Choose Edit > Spelling & Grammar > Check Grammar & Spelling (checkbox indicates this feature is enabled). Grammar errors are underlined with a green line. Hover over the underlined word to read the description of the error.
Grammar check is not available in all languages or in all countries/regions. See the macOS feature availability webpage.
-
Ignoring misspelled words. Control-click a word, then choose Ignore Spelling. If the found word occurs several times, then it will be skipped in the current document, and highlighted in all other documents.
-
Adding a word to the spelling dictionary. Control-click a word, then select Remember Spelling. This word will not be marked as erroneous in any documents.
-
Delete a word from the spelling dictionary. Control-click a word, then choose Don't Remember Spelling.

How to turn off spell checking in Windows 10
Very few modern conveniences have made their way into technologies such as spell checking. A typo or misspelling of a word and a spell check are ready to correct your mistakes so you don't accidentally look stupid in a tweet or Facebook status message. We expect iPhones and devices running the Google Android operating system to include spell checking due to their touch screen keyboards.
The Microsoft Windows 10 operating system has spell checking for laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Spell check is seamlessly integrated into Windows 10. It has been present since the launch of the device running the operating system. Instead of waiting for you to correct your mistakes, the function tries to find the word you wanted to type.
Sometimes the built-in spell checker is useful. In other cases, it may cause more pain than it's worth. In these cases, you need to disable spell checking in Windows 10. Here's how to do it.
Before we begin
In theory, spell checking in Windows 10 is designed to keep you from making mistakes. Before you turn it off, you must be absolutely sure that you do not need it.
After you disable this feature, you will notice how often you type a word with a typo or misspelling, and the operating system corrects it for you. Don't worry, if you regret disabling spell checking, you can turn it back on.
Please note that the process for enabling and disabling spell checking in Windows 10 is identical for laptops and tablets running this operating system. The process is slightly different for smartphones running Windows 10.
What you need to know
Press the Windows key on your keyboard or the Windows button on the taskbar to open the Start menu.
Welcome to the initial experience. Depending on whether you have tablet mode enabled, your initial interface may differ slightly from what is listed above. Tap or click the Menu button in the bottom left corner of the home screen to get a list of all the apps installed on your device.
Now tap or click the option in the left corner of the screen. Users with tablet mode disabled on their device will see the Settings option in the Start menu as soon as they open it.
In the Settings app, tap or click . This is the second option from the left side of the screen in the top row.
Now tap or tap on
From here, you can set up many of the keyboard improvements that Microsoft has made in Windows 10 and Windows 8.
