Dear Lance, and List. Thanks to you all for your ideas and input what a good bunch of people you are.

Do you have MS Word installed? If you do the spell checker is part of that. However, it may not be configured to enable you to use it in Outlook Express. These sites will give you the necessary steps (they apply to Win XP by the way): http://michaelstevenstech.com/spellcheck.htm, http://www.theeldergeek.com/oe_spellcheck.htm, or try this one: http://www.tech-pro.co.uk/howto_010.html (all are basically the same) And if that does not work for you, there is a free spell checker for OE available here: http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/ This spell-checker will work with all Windows applications. Anything that supports the clipboard supports FreeSpell, and all it takes is a hotkey to invoke it. You may find this an option if all else fails: http://hcidesign.com/freespell/ Lance -----Original Message----- From: Boothey [mailto:Boothall@westnet.com.au] Sent: Friday, 18 June 2004 14:03 To: GEN-COMP-TIPS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [Gen-Comp-Tips] SPELL CHECKER Hi List.
