Spell check unavaliable in outlook express

[lunewsboy]

I have someone who has xp home edition and is using outlook express 6.0. She cannot use spell check in outlook express. Also when she goes into tools > then options the spelling tab is not avaliable. Was wondering if anyone has ran into this before and found a solution.

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks smah,

I found out that you have to have some type of works or office on the computer for spell check to be available. But the free spell checker in that website you gave should work.

Thanks,

That used to be true for earlier versions of OE, but MS Office is no longer required to have spellcheck work.
