SPELL CHECK

[EILEEN]

HI,
WHEN I'M READY TO SEND E-MAIL AND I CLICK SPELL CHECK, I
ALWAYS GET THIS MESSAGE - THE SPELL CHECK ON THIS DOCUMENT
WAS HALTED. DO YOU WANT TO SEND ANYWAY? HOW DO I STOP IT
FROM BEING HALTED?
THANKS,
EILEEN

Do you have Microsoft Word, Microsoft Office including Word, Microsoft
Publisher or Microsoft Works installed on your system. Outlook Express
spell check requires one of those applications be installed as it shares
their dictionary function.

Eileen/Michael,
Just a quick add on to Michael's reply: IF you do not have Word, here is a
free Spell Checker which works fine with Outlook Express; go here:

Nice alternative, Gene, thanks for the link.

All cap letters means you are screaming. Well, maybe you
are.
You didn't say what email you use. Fixes would be
different for all.
try downloading free Incredimail.com, which is a fancy
version of Outlook Express. My O.E. spell check never
worked after IE 6.0 update. Incredimail has lots of goofy
stuff, but you can shut it off for business email. Fancy
backgrounds, simley faces of all kinds, and many other
options.
I hate sending email without spell checking.
