The spell check window will be shown with a few changes. If you want the misspelled words to be placed into the spelling made simple software make sure the corresponding checkbox is checked in the lower left. Select a user to the right. These are the users that are already created in Spelling Made Simple. If you need to create a different user startup Spelling Made Simple and create the user there. When a button is green, that means that the word will be sent to Spelling Made Simple. You can also just double click the correct word and it will make the change and send the word to Spelling Made Simple. The change typo button tells the software to change the misspelling, but not to send the word to Spelling Made Simple. This is shown in Figure 3.

When you start a new email in Outlook the same button will be at the top of the email. When you are finished with the email, save it and press the button. A warning will probably be shown as in Figure 4. This is a warning that is shown when an add-in tries to do anything in Outlook (The message does not describe what is really happening. The add-in does not access any email addresses on your computer). This is a security feature from Microsoft to prevent any unauthorized programs from running. Given that you are the one who wants the add-in to run, click the yes to continue.
