Spell Check Icon - Outlook 2003

[Guest]

I run Windows XP and have recently installed offcie 2003, and migrated in
process from Outlook Express to Outlook. I cannot seem to find a Spell
Checker Icon to add to my tool bar. I have used Microsoft for many years and
many versions and am probably classed as an Intermediate to Advanced user and
have never had a problem setting this up before. Any suggestions or advice
would be most appreciated

You can add it to the toolbar in the mail editor while editing/creating a
new mail item.

How? I have followed your suggestion and still cannot locate a spell check
icon in mail editor - add/remove buttons. I have tried serveral times. Help
before I pull the remainder of my hair out!
A walk through instruction would be most appreciated.

Many thanks

Try this:

- put cursor in the mail body
- View menu > Toolbars > Customize command
- Commands tab
- go to the Tools category and drag spelling button to the toolbar
