Spelling Command Is Not Available in Outlook Express for Windows XP 64-bit Edition

[Wayne]

Is there anything you can do to get a spell checker to work with Windows XP Pro? Is Microsoft working on a fix to this problem?
Thanks

OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. There are downloads available.
Get a free spell check at either site below.

There is no fix, because nothing is broken. Neither Windows XP,
nor any other version of Windows, has ever come with a Spell
Checking facility. Outlook Express uses the spell checker that
comes with Microsoft Word, (or another Microsoft Office program)
if you have it installed.

If you don't have Word or Office installed, you probably don't
have a spell checker. However there are several downloadable
freeware/shareware alternative spell checkers that work with
Outlook Express and Outlook. Since I have no personal experience
with any of these, I'll let someone else recommend one.

On the other hand, if a Microsoft Office component *is*
installed, try the instructions at
