OE doesn't come with a spell checker but uses the ones included in the
Office programs do you have any of these installed, if not there are free
ones available but I don't have the URL's to hand but I'm sure someone
will be along shortly to give the information.

OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an MS Office
program. 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.

If you do have an appropriate program, see:

Spell Checking does not work in OE:

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