Original Title:"Contractions of Verb + Not"
The spell check in Outlook 2011 keeps underlining any verb that is contracted with "not." For example, "can't", "isn't", and so on are all flagged as misspellings. How can I stop this?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Everyone should send Microsoft feedback to let them know you want this bug fixed.
The more reports they get the higher it gets on the list to be fixed.
There is still no fix, and the problem still persists.
This problem occurs on a brand new computer running Lion. There is clearly a bug / conflict with the OS. Why does it take so long for Microsoft to fix it?
I also get this problem. Very annoying. Only happens in Outlook. All other applications are fine, including Word.
This is obviously a bug. Please Fix it.
Add me to the list of users experiencing this problem. Contractions are all showing up with red squiggly lines underneath them in Outlook. I just upgraded to a new computer running Lion. This wasn't a problem in Snow Leopard. And it appears to only be happening in Outlook.
