Turning off spell check in Outlook 2007

[ehayot]

For reasons I don't understand, I can't turn off the automatic spell
check in Outlook 2007. If I go to Tools-->Options-->Spelling, the two
buttons, "Always check spelling before sending," and "Ignore original
message text in reply or forward" are both checked, and grayed out!

It's the kind of thing that will eventually drive me to murder
someone, so please help.

Are you running Outlook in a corporate environment where the options might
be controlled by policy?

Do you have standalone outlook or an office suite?

Do you have standalone outlook or an office suite?

I am using the Office suite. It's possible that the options are
controlled by policy, but that would be fairly odd as I have
administrator status on my PC.

Thanks again for the thoughts so far.
