Default Can't Spell Check

Max wrote:
My Outlook Express won't enable the Spell Check button when I am composing
mail. What I can find on this says it is dependent on other Office
applications to supply the dictionary. When I go into Word and click the
Spell Check button in Word 2000, an error message says it can't find the
files msspell3.dll and mssp232.dll. Have gone to Control Panel/Add new
programs and run the reinstall on Office followed by a restart - no luck.
Where can I locate those files and where should they be installed on my PC?


On my system they're installed into \Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof\. The files should be on your Office 2000, but they may be
in a cab file and it probably wouldn't work just to copy them to your hard
drive. When you reinstalled, did you make sure that the appropriate
option was checked to install the proofing tools?
