Spell Checker

[Kirby Martin]

I had to have my hard drive wiped because of problems....I installed the
complete MS-Me and then added XP Home Addition. I am using Outlook Express
and I can't get the spell checker to work. I loaded my copy of Office 97
that I have always used.....With out the spell checker I look like a
dope!....HELP!

I do not have an answer for you but I do have a tip that might help you out.
First of all you might want to post this problem in the Office newsgroup as
they are more focussed on the Office related problems. It would also help to
specify exactly what the problem is. I see that it is not working, but are
you getting an error? Is it doing anything at all? Thanks and good luck!

Hi
Spellchecker feature is on MSWORKS disk.

 

[Kirby Martin]

I guess I need to take it to a buddy...I'm so confused!
Thanks for the help anyway.

Either download a free Spell Check:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

http://www.megspace.com/computers/tinyspell/ (Checks the
spelling as you type).

Or, one of these links should get what you have working:

Spell Checking does not work in OE:
http://mvps.org/PracticallyNerded/OE/OE_Spell check.htm
Or:
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm

And: An error occurred while the spelling was being checked
or: Spell Check was halted:
