Hello,

I work for Islandnet, an ISP on Vancouver Island and I have a customer who
uses OE V6 (latest level) and the Spelling function in Outlook Express
quit on her and after being on the phone with Dell for 2 hours who in the
end suggested a 30 day trial download of some software she gave up and
asked me.

I checked my usual sources like insideoe.com (strangely lacking in this
area) and found nothing but I did see the suggestion to post in this
newsie so here I am.

I had her go in Tools,Options,Spelling tab and take a look at the
dictionary she was using and she had English(American), being in Canada I
told her to use English(Canada) but it was not in her list of
dictionaries.

Update: I thought before I post this I should at least try Google and I
found out how to fix it he

Anyone vouch for these recommended solutions in repairing the Spelling
function

Thanks,
