Prevent Spell Check from Checking Previous Emails in Email Chain Upon Reply?

Question

_{Tuesday, August 13, 2013 3:36 PM}

My spell check always checks everyone else's replies to an email when I'm forwarding or replying to an email.  Not only is this a nuisance as they aren't my errors, the correction can also look insulting to others that are part of the email.  Is there a way to tell Outlook to just look at what I'm currently typing?

Hi,

You could follow these steps to check this checkbox to cancel this function:

1. Click FILE tab, select Options;

2. Select Mail tab from the navigation on the left;

3. Under Compose message section, check the checkbox of Ignore original message text in reply or forward.

4. Restart the Outlook.

Best regards,

Hi ,

I am having the same issue with many users who recently received a Microsoft update and I did exactly what is described in this response to make the spell check stop. Does not work and is still checking email replies and forwarded emails. How can I make it stop?
