If F7 doesn't check the signature, you will need to change the style so that it doesn't skip text when checking the spelling. Or press F7 to run spell check manually on the entire message.

Note: this will remove formatting, images, and hyperlinks from the message. Note: the RFC specifies two dashes followed by a space: "- " as the signature separator.Īdding the dashes to the signature won’t help you with the current message though – to fix spell check in the message, you can select all and cut the message body (including the signature) then use Paste Special, As Text to paste it back into the message in plain text format.

When the frame's text is finished, then the spell-checker picks right back up, at the point in the main text immediately following the frame's anchor. When the anchor point for the frame is encountered by the spell-checker, all of the text in the frame is spell-checked. Frames are placed on the same layer as the text, as well. Another approach is to convert the text boxes to frames (as described in other issues of WordTips). For instance, you could use tables instead of text boxes they are placed on the text layer and processed with the rest of the text by the spell-checker. If this wait-until-last approach to spell-checking bothers you, then you may want to use a different design element rather than text boxes. The spell-checker finishes everything on the text layer before it starts checking things on the other layers of the document. Why? Because text boxes are not on the same "layer" as the rest of the document.
