My grandma was typing a message in Outlook Express (ver.
6) and she tried to use the spelling tool, but it didn't
work. The button is grayed out and the option on the menu
is grayed out too. The F7 key doesn't work either. I
can't figure out whats wrong. Does anyone have any advice?
OE doesn't have its own spellcheck engine. I think you need Word or another
app installed for this to work.
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..
You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group - try
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress
If this group isn'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).
If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.
A good website for information on OE is:

Sorry, no email replies. Ask in a group, read the answer in a group - that
way everyone can benefit, and nobody has to duplicate other peoples' work.
Also note - posting your valid e-mail address in a newsgroup post, or in
your news account settings, is a surefire way to get spam and SWEN and other
viruses sent to you....see
http://www.mailmsg.com/SPAM_munging.htm for help
in the future, but note that now that your address is out there, there's not
much you can do other than changing your address.
