Can OE be upgraded?
I have XP, IE8 (which I don't use) and OE6. Can the latter be upgraded, my
specific desire is to improve the very deficient spell checker? |
Can OE be upgraded?
There is no newer version of Outlook Express. All development of OE and
WinMail (Vista) was discontinued in June, 2006. Which "very deficient spell checker" are you using? Outlook Express never had one of its own and relied on the Word spell checker or a third party app. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Marty" wrote in message ...

I don't know which checker Bruce. I just enable the check and preferences
from the OE ToolsOptions. The biggest deficiency for me is its inability to recognize and ignore proper nouns. Word will not insert the red or green squiggly lines under the same names that OE flags as errors. It also flags errors in previous text on a reply even though I've checked the box that says to ignore them. It's not the end of the world if I can't upgrade. Just out of curiosity, if they discontinued development of OE and WinMail three years ago, what do they provide as a mail program these days? "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Give this freeware tool a try. I know some people that opted to use it
even though they had a spell checker via Word. OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an MS Office program, pre 2007. 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.

To add to Bruce's post:
Windows Live Mail uses the red and green squiggly lines when spell checking and can check in different languages. WLMail runs on XP, Vista, or Win7. WLMail can login to Live services to use Live Calendar and Contacts. Notice, I said can. It is not required. WLMail will have separate folders for each email account. OE and WLMail can run at the same time. -- Ron Sommer MS MVP-Mail "Marty" wrote in message ... I don't know which checker Bruce. I just enable the check and preferences from the OE ToolsOptions.
