how do i get spell check to work in outlook express ? i have windows xp, also have microsoft works?

Question

and its spell check works ok--

Answer 1

These articles might help explain the problem. Outlook Express needs a source for spell checking.

Answer 2

I have the same problem. I use to have MS Word on my computer, and the spell check worked in Outlook Express. I didn't bother putting MS Word back on the computer once I reinstalled Windows, I don't really use it. Now Outlook can't spell check. My only solution is to get Thunderbird (free) or Incredimail (free), both have spell checkers.

Answer 3

After you type your emails there should be an icon that says ABC with a check mark. Just click on it and the rest should be easy.
