Spell Checker

[Sharon A. Barnes]

Has anyone encountered a problem with Spell Checker when creating an email
in Windows Mail? Everytime that I try to invoke spell checker from the
tools drop down menu, I get the following message "This language is no
longer available for spell checking. Please select another in the spelling
options dialog." Does anyone know what this means and whether there is a
real spell check function in Windows Mail?

Grateful for any suggestions or help. Thanks.

Yes, there is a real spell checker. It tends to be balky when starting
it the first time. Go here for directions:

Start Windows Mail
Click the Tools menu and choose Options...
Click the Spelling tab
From the Language drop-down, select English (default choice)
Click OK

Note: In step 2, make sure that you select the Tools menu from the main window, not the New Mail message window.
