Default No Spell Check in Outlook Express.

Hi, I have another problem that I have had since I got my pc. I dont have a
spell check in OE.

When I open a message box, the spell check option just isnt there.

Can you help?

Thank you.

John.

You would need to have MS Office installed to get a spellchecker.
However you can install a free one that woprks very well. I have used
it for several years. Download it from here.

OE does not come with a spelling checker. It uses the spelling checker from
any Office program that has one. Do you have such a program?

If not you could try one of these:

Free spellchecker.
which I use on my laptop, which has Works.

And here's a freeware that checks your spelling as you type:
TinySpell

Hi, thank you both for your help.

I tied to install this spell checker
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

it got part way through the process of installation, and came up with this
warning

'some or more of the files are write protected, would you like to overwrite
them now'.

What does that mean, Is it somehow there is a spell checker in there
somewhere. What should I do?

John.

Hi, sorry to bother you, I managed to get the spell check back, but it only
has the option on American English, but I live in the Uk. Is there somewhere
where I can get the English dictionary installed?

Thank you

John.
