You can't - it is only Outlook which has this facility.

Hi IBO,

As Tony mentions, you can't use Word as the 'default' 'new email creator for Outlook Express (part of MS Windows). Outlook Express
doesn't have the same integration with Word that MS Office Word does with MS Office Outlook.

You can do use Word to create outgoing email for Outlook Express if Outlook Express is your default mail client you can use
File=>Send to Mail Recipient. When you use 'send' from that point the email should show up in the Outlook Express 'sent items'
folder.
If you want to reply to or quote text from an incoming email in Outlook Express though you'd usually need to copy it from the OE
message and paste it into the Word document.

Word's spell check feature is supported though through the 'normal' email composer section of MS Outlook Express.
