OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an MS Office
program. The spell checker in Works 4 through 6 will work with OE, but not
other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can download a free
spell check at one of these sites.

http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type).

If you do have an appropriate program, see:

Spell Checking does not work in OE:
http://mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/OE...ll%20check.htm
Or:

And: An error occurred while the spelling was being checked or: Spell Check
was halted:

With XP-2-Home: I removed MS Office and now lost the Spell Checker in
OE-6 . Still have Works installed. Is there a way to associate Works
SC with OE, or is there some other fix?
Thanks,
brody

YW. Same one I use.

Thanks Bruce Hagen. I got the spell checker from the first above link
and it works great.
