OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an MS
Office program or you can download a free spell check at one of these
sites.

Spell Checking does not work in OE:

Or:

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

Outlook Express has never had spell-checking capabilities of its
own. Instead, it relies upon the presence of other Microsoft
applications, such as the Office Suite, Word, or the Works _Suite_
(which includes Word, not the regular Works). There are also some
3rd-party shareware/freeware solutions available at any of the many
shareware sites on the Internet Spell Magic seems well thought-of,
though I haven't tried it myself:

To resolve this problem once and for all and to enable Outlook Express spell
check facilities, proceed as follows,

Copy csapi3t1.dll and WINWORD to C:\Program Files\Outlook Express

The csapi3t1.dll does NOT have to in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof as most internet geeks dictate.

WINWORD, a component of Microsoft Office 97, contains a spell checker and
dictionaries.

The csapi3t1.dll can be sourced from a number of places, as follows,
'Google' for it on th web
Copy it from the Windows XP or Windows 98 installation disk, etc.
If Microsoft Office 97, or similar is not available, then 'Google' for Free
Spell Check
Downloads from the web.
A Spell Check I have used in the past is OE 2.1.exe from
http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/
Provided that Outlook Express has the a/m *.dll installed and spelling is
enabled, then OE 2.1.exe will do it's stuff.

Have fun out there

Winword is NOT needed.
SOME people find that CSAPI3T1 must also be copied to C:\Program
Files\Outlook Express.
