The Detect language automatically option in Outlook and Word can automatically detect the language you are typing in and enable the proofing tools for that language. This has the same result as if you manually set the language.

This information applies to Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, not Microsoft Outlook Express. For information about Outlook Express, see the Outlook Express Support Center.

1. Open a new e-mail message.

2. On the Message tab, in the Proofing group, click the arrow under Spelling.

3. Click Set Language Button image.

4. Select the Detect language automatically check box.

5. Review the languages shown above the double line in the Mark selected text as list. Outlook can only detect those languages listed above the double line. If there are languages you use that are not shown above the double line, you must enable those languages (turn on the language-specific options) to have Outlook automatically detect them.

Note Automatic language detection does not work on a single-word basis but on a sentence basis. Depending on the length of your sentences, you might need to type several sentences before Outlook has enough contextual information to automatically detect the language and apply the correct dictionary.

This feature is available in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean language versions of Microsoft Office. Because handwriting recognition is not installed by default in all of these languages, you may need to install it separately.

Use handwriting recognition to enter text into any Microsoft Office program by writing instead of typing.

You can write by using a handwriting input device— such as a graphics tablet used with 3-D drawing programs or Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) software, or a pen tablet device— or you can write using your mouse.

Your natural handwriting is converted to typed characters and inserted inline with any existing text, at the same size as the existing text. In Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook, you can also choose the option to leave text in handwritten form.

You can convert handwritten notes taken in a Handheld PC or Pocket PC into Microsoft Word by following the instructions that come with your handheld device.

Working with handwriting recognition

To use handwriting recognition for the first time, install it by doing a custom installation, and then use the feature by clicking buttons on the Language bar that appears in the upper-right corner of the screen in any Office program.

Language bar

Start by selecting a writing area, a writing pad on the screen similar to lined notebook paper, or you can write anywhere on the screen. You can write by using a handwriting input device or by moving your mouse on your mouse pad to form words. Your handwriting is automatically recognized and entered at the insertion point in the program.

Write as you naturally do on a paper surface, using cursive style, printing, or a combination of both. As you write, enter entire words without pausing after each letter, and leave space between words.

Find out where your Outlook data file is and backup regularly

How can you be sure that your Outlook data is being backed up if you don't know where it is?

I am frequently surprised with the number of users who have no idea where their Outlook data is actually saved on their computers.

Unless you are part of a corporate network using MS Exchange, all your Outlook data is stored in one Personal Folders file. This file has a .pst extension and is saved somewhere on your computer. This one file contains all your Outlook folders, e-mails, contacts, tasks, calendar items, journal entries and notes inside it.

So where is this file on your computer?

The exact location depends on the version of Outlook and Windows you are using but unfortunately it is almost never saved in a place you will remember to backup.

To find out where your Outlook data is:

1. Go to your Inbox and makes sure that the list of folders is displayed

2. Right-click the top-level folder and select Properties

3. Click the Advanced button. The filename will be displayed in the box labeled FileName.

You need to make sure that you regularly backup this file to a CD, DVD or external hard-disk.
