How do I get the spell check icon in IE 5.0 outlook express mail?

[MiataSteve]

The Icon is all greyed out, and want to be able to spell check my outgoing email. Does outlook express need another program to use as a spell checker? If so, does any one know of a freeware program that'll work with outlook express, and how to let outlook express use it?

Thanks for reading, and in advance for any help!

Mia,

Yes you need to have a "office" program such as Word on your computer for spell check to work (they share the same dictionary). I dont know if you can use a different program(third party) to work with Outlook (Microsoft programs unually only want to work/share with other Microsoft programs)(They want you to use Microsoft /forum/smile.gif )

I also found spell check from "word" works too.

You must have a word processing program, because lookout express uses it. But be sure that you install lookout express last or else the link wont work.

You can find a couple of proggies at http://www.winfiles.com/apps/98/mail-misc.html that will work
