No spellcheck in OE from MS Office???

[Adela]

Hello (don't know if there's a more appropriate forum for the following
problem. If there is, please let me know, or could you transfer it for me?
Thanx)

I just installed MS Office XP Professional with Front Page. But it deleted
my free-standing spellcheck in my Outlook Express and didn't replace it
because it came with Outlook, which I don't have. Is there a solution to
change it to OE? Or must I reinstall the free standing spellcheck? I don't
wish to change to Outlook... )

Thank you very much! Adela

The OE group would have been better, but download a free spell check for OE.
I use the Vampirefo spell check and it works fine.

OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an MS Office
program, pre 2007. The spell checker in Works 4 through 6 will work with OE,
but not other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can download
a free spell check at one of these sites.

Vampirefo Spell Check.

Download it from Major Geeks:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

Or download it from SnapFile:

Hi Bruce and thank you so much! I thought any MS Office (mine is 2002)
provided automatically the spellcheck. I believe the free standing one you
suggest is the one I had and no longer have since I installed the MS Office.
I have Works but not sure what numbers; however, your suggestion seems the
simplest way, so I'll reinstall the free standing spellcheck. The
"tinyspell" sounds interesting but I'm afraid to rob more memory from my
RAM...

Thanks again! Adela

 

[Adela]

Hi Robear and thank you so much! I'm surprised that the 2007 MS Office
doesn't provide a spellcheck; however, I used to have MS Office 2002 or 2003
and did enjoy their spellcheck while I had that old Office. It must be a
sort of recent change?

Anyway, thanks for suggesting to use the Vampirefo spellchecker which is the
one I had when I lost Office and when I installed Office 2002 again it
deleted my free standing one. Typical of Microsoft isn't it?

If I delete the "Outlook" program that came with this MS Office
installation, will it affect other Office functions?

Thanks again. ) Adela

Oh I'm sorry, Robear, I don't have Office 2007, I have Office 2002 or

Outlok, then I won't of course. )

One more thing, I don't know what Office year I just installed. Is there a

Thanks Robear, I'm glad I can delete the Outlook withouot damaging other
things, since I don't use it.

But I'm sorry to bother you again, that though I referred to my first, old

2002...actually I don't know what year it is, do you happen to know how I
can find out what year it is? The complete name, I know, is: "Microsoft

The year doesn't matter (and Office XP & Office 2002 have a lot of
similarities anyway).

You will not "delete" Outlook, you will Remove it from your installation of
Office XP:

With your Office CD handy in case it should be needed, open Add/Remove
Programs, select (highlight) Office XP then click on the CHANGE button. See
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/HP052741691033.aspx (yes, that page
applies to Office XP, too).

Thanks Robear, I'm glad I can delete the Outlook withouot damaging other

But I'm sorry to bother you again, that though I referred to my first, old
Office, and also to my present, recently installed Office, as
