SYMPTOMS
After you run a spelling check on an Outlook Express e-mail message, some
abbreviations that end with a period may have a second period. For
example, the abbreviation "Mr." may appear as "Mr.."
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are using the 32-bit spell checking program
included with Microsoft Office 7.0 for Windows 95 or Microsoft Office 97.
These spell checking programs may incorrectly identify some abbreviations
as misspelled words. If you choose to change an abbreviation's spelling,
the spell checking program may add a period to the end of the
abbreviation.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, click Ignore or Ignore All when the spelling
checker notes these abbreviations as misspelled words.
