my spell check on outlook express does not work
In order to use Spell Check in Outlook Express, one must install either
Microsoft Word, Microsoft Works, or Microsoft Office. These software programs are available for purchase at your favorite store that sells computer software programs. If you have one of the aforementioned programs installed, then visit the following website for assistance: Spell check not working in XP Outlook Express http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows XP - Shell/User -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- "vassy" wrote in message: ... | Please help, | I have a windows xp home edition. hp pavilion mx703.

my spell check on outlook express does not work
Greetings --
Outlook Express, as you've just discovered, has no spell-checking capabilities of its own. Instead, it relies upon the presence of other Microsoft applications, such as the Office Suite, Word, or the Works _Suite_ (which includes Word, not the regular Works). There are also some 3rd-party shareware/freeware solutions available at any of the many shareware sites on the Internet Spell Magic seems well thought-of, though I haven't tried it myself: http://www.alcodasoftware.com/spell-magic.htm. Bruce Chambers -- Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once. -- RAH "vassy" wrote in message ... Please help, I have a windows xp home edition. hp pavilion mx703. My outlook express spell check does not work.

In ,

I am still a little computer stupid and need some guidance. No one seems to be able to help me. 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 http://michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

As Ken suggested you need at least one Microsoft stuff that comes with a spell checker (for example, Word) to lend its spell checker to Outlook Express. If you don't have any, then check out As-U-Type (http://www.asutype.com). It checks and corrects spelling as you type in Outlook Express, Internet Explorer and ALL other software that you have in your computer (no exception). Very easy to install and use; and you can even try it for free... --jdean |
