Default Can't turn on Spell Check

I just had Windows XP installed...used to have ME. Now, I cannot figure out
how to turn on "Spellcheck" when using Outlook. The button is there but
it's greyed out so I can't use it. I went through all the tabs in "options"
and can't find a thing. I also tried the "help" menu but spell check does
not appear anywhere, even when I use the index. Anyone have any ideas? Was
spellcheck only available with ME?

Default Can't turn on Spell Check

Outlook, or Outlook Express? If OE:

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.
