Have you consulted OE Help: To check the spelling in messages?

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. Vampirefo Spell Check: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 TinySpell: http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type). If you have such a program and receive an error message, then see: Spell Checking does not work in OE: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "PinkLady" wrote in message ...

How to I access OH Help? When I try to check spelling I click on the red
check mark above the word Spelling and OE says it's trying to install Microsoft Greetings 2001. Never had that. "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

Never had Word or MS Office. I have Works 8. My message has "Spelling"
with a red check mark over it, but when I click on it now it says it's preparring to install Microsoft Greeting 2001. Can't imagine what that means. I did a system restore but that didn't fix it.

How to I access OH Help?
Look at the top of the OE window and click on HELP. Or use the keyboard shortcut ALT+H+C. Here's what you'll find: "Outlook Express uses the spelling checker provided with the following Microsoft Office programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs installed, the Spelling command is not available." Do you have any of those programs installed?? -- ~PA Bear PinkLady wrote: How to I access OH Help?

1. If Works 8 includes Word, see
http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm [Some users will also need to place a copy of CSAPI3T1.DLL in C:\Program Files\Outlook Express =this folder.] 2. If no joy, you can install/use a third-party spellchecker: Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 TinySpell (checks spelling as you type) http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ Australian English Spell Check (Also suitable for other English speaking countries.) http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/ -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ PinkLady wrote: No - I have Works 8.

Still nothing. Tried http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm but
could not get my backup Windows to work. I downloaded http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ but evidently I just can't understand how to get that working or use it. I guess I'm getting to old for some of this. I have a personal question, however. Are you related to a (now deceased) friend of mine - Bill Hagen? He lived in Fallbrook I believe.
