spellcheck w/outlook express and word perfect,windows xp

[terri]

Hi,
I have just purchased a dell computer with windows xp
6.0 and outlook express e-mail. I am not the most
computer literate person but my old version of outlook
had spellcheck. While composing an e-mail I tried to do
a spellcheck and was not able. The option is highlighted
in grey and the others in black. Does anyone know if
I can do spellcheck with my word perfect, windows xp,
outlook express programs? Thanks so much for your help.
cordially,
terri obrien

No, I don't think WordPerfect will work. I believe there is an
"unofficial" way to use another spell checker, which I don't recall
the details of, but Outlook Express, by default, relies on other
Microsoft products (Word, Excel, etc.) for its spell checking ability.
