The spell checker in the basic Works 4 through 6 will work with OE. Older
and newer versions do not. If you have Works Suite, that includes MS Word
and a spell checker that does work with OE.

Stick with TinySpell. It's better anyway.

Well, I've got Works 8 which I thought had Word in it, but the only thing
that seems to be working is Tinyspell at the moment.

Thanks!

OE 6 does not come with its own spell check. You need Word or an MS
Office program. The spell checker in the basic Works 4 through 6 will
work with OE. Older and newer versions do not. If you have Works Suite,
that includes MS Word and a spell checker that does work with OE. If you
have such a program, see:

Spell Checking does not work in OE:

Or:

And: An error occurred while the spelling was being checked or: Spell
Check was halted:

I'm running OE 6, SP2, but the spell check doesn't work. Any
suggestions on how to get it working again?
