In Outlook Express under Tools - Options, I don't even have the Spelling tab to setup spell checks. I have Microsoft Works installed.
How can I get spell check to work again?

Thanks....




Outlook Express has never had spell-checking capabilities of its own. Instead, it relies upon the presence of other Microsoft applications, such as the Office Suite, Word, or the Works _Suite_ (which includes Word, not the regular Works). There are also some 3rd-party shareware/freeware solutions available at any of the many shareware sites on the Internet Spell Magic seems well thought-of, though I haven't tried it myself:
