Perhaps ABC spell check

Add spell checking, thesaurus and dictionary/word lookup functions to
Outlook Express! ABCSpell installs in seconds and works like part of
Outlook
Express. Checks spelling manually or automatically on "Send". Displays
suggestions for 13+ languages.

Been following this thread since I am having the same problem and just want
to make sure I understand. I bought Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Office
2003, and Office 2007, and the recommendation to this is to either try and
find the dictionary from Office 2003, which on my system is not where Bruce
said it was or download the a third party spell checker????? You have to be
kidding me. Where is the support team this is obvious and needs to be fixed.

Seems I may be wasting my money on MS products.....

I don't know where the Office 2003 proofing tools are. I was only citing a
blog that has worked for others.

Outlook Express has never come with a spell check of its own and has always
relied on a third party program.

Since OE is on its last legs, no issue that was never addressed before will
certainly not be addressed now.

As I said, I have always used a free spell check, and I know a few people
that like TinySpell so much, they use that even though they have the option
to use the spell check from Word.

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some
languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you install the 2007
Microsoft Office system
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974


Here are a couple of free spell checkers that you may find
helpful.


Spell Checker for OE
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/spelloe.html


Spell Checker for OE 2.1
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952


You may be able to get around this issue with a copy of
Office 2003. You can install the Proofing tools from the Office
2003 installation CD and it will restore the spell checking
capabilities in Outlook Express.

Thanks Bruce the workaround worked for me. Using XP & upgraded to Office
2007, tried your solution and now I can read my spell checker!
