By chance, did you install Office 2007? Its spell checker is not
compatible with OE.

What spell checker did you download?

Here's something that may be suitable:
Outlook Express - Australian English Spell Check
(May also be suitable for UK, Canada and other non U.S. English
countries.)

I discovered that there was not spell checker operating when I upgraded
to
the latest IE and tried to use Outlook Express. I ended up
downloading a
dictionary online but it is in American English and not British
English!

I have a British English spell checker working in Microsoft Office -
is
there any way I can get OE to use this?

Thanks,

Noel
