spellcheck in xp?

In xp wordpad and notepad are the only ones I find.

Is there no MS Word?

I cant find a spellcheck in the other two??

You must have MS Word or MS Office installed. Neither are included in
Windows XP, or any operating system for that matter. If you don't want to
shell out the dollars, download the open source and free OpenOffice.
http://www.openoffice.org The files can be used by MS Office products...

Hi,

MS Word is an MS Office application and does not ship with Windows XP.
The is no spell check function in Wordpad or Notepad. The following link can
add a spell check option for a price.

Correct.

Not unless you purchased and installed it.

Neither the Microsoft Office application suite, nor any of its
individual component applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,
Outlook, etc.), have _ever_ been "part" of *any* Windows operating
system. They are, and always have been, separate applications, that
must be purchased and installed separately.

There is none.
