It depends which version. The spell checker in Works 4 through 6 will work
with OE, but not other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can
download a free spell check at one of these sites.

TinySpell:

I know that for OE to check the spelling of emails and newsgroup messages a
Microsoft Office program needs to be installed. Does Microsoft Works not
satisfy this requirement as well?
