The OE development team, (and the Vista Windows Mail team), were disbanded
in June, 2006. In the past, the OE team would work with the Office team to
make sure things like the Word spell checker was compatible. There was no
one to do this last time around.

There will be no changes to OE ever. It will be supported as long as XP is,
but only as far as security issues go.

I opted for the Office 2003 proofing tools.
I am still curious if that was an oversight, or if MS does not
support OE any longer.

You're welcome.

I'm one of the two, but since you didn't reply to your original thread,
who's to know? wink

Which option did you use? A free spell check, or Office 2003 proofing
tools?

I want to thank both of you for your quick responses.
It worked and it is folks like you who make the Internet
a pleasant experience.

Thanks again
