spellcheck for Outlook Express?

[Elly]

This is so simple, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Can you have spellcheck on your Outlook Express 2000 from
Windows XP?

When I try to spell check a newly created email, the
spell check button is viewable on my tool bar, but it
shows up in that "disabled" vage gray color.

When I try to customize my tool bar, it shows that
Spellcheck is already there??? So I re-added it, but
still no luck.

Any suggestions or is this a feature I can't use?
Thanks... and for give the miss spellings :)

Elly, you will need a 32-bit spellcheck, that is part of MS Office =
Products like MS Works & MS Word installed on your PC. There are some =
good free standalone spellcheck programs out there, as one is mentioned =
below.
