Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, it's still acting the same. Auto spell correcting in the Subject, but not in the body of an e-mail message. I put the Custom Dict to the top of the list in Word and made sure it was set to None for language. Restarted my Mac, but no difference. Any other ideas?
