Howdy All!

I have another problem: I have no spelling functionality in Outlook Express.
The
Tools | Spelling
option is grayed out when I select
Tools | Options
I see no spelling tab.

Can anyone tell me what I might do to fix this?

Thanks for any advice!

Hi,

The spellchecker in OE requires support from another program that provides
the necessary filters (like most word processor programs). Until that is
installed, the option will be missing.

Outlook Express gets its spelling support from Microsoft Word,
Microsoft Excel or Microsoft PowerPoint. You could also search with
Google for freeware or shareware spell checkers.

Suggestions you could try:-



You can download the Csapi3t1.dll file and copy the same to this
location:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof folder.

If you don't have a spell check:

You can download dictionary from the following site:
