Outlook Express

[Bob]

I cannot get my spell checker to work in Outlook Express.
I currently have Windows XP, and Office 97 installled.
With Outlook Express open, I click on
actions/tools/spelling, then there is a red check mark on
each icons to the left. I believe this means that spell
check is inactive. How can I remove these red checks and
get my spell checker to work?

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
