I heard recently that some people are confused about the reason for the spelling checker in Outlook Express is to identify and correct word in French. Now I get the error – I have nothing against France, the French, or even the French language. But something was rotten in the state of Denmark (or Provence, Burgundy, as the case may be!)

A little 'online search revealed the answer, but first a little' about how the spelling checker in Outlook Expresswork.

Outlook Express does not come with its own spell checker – you use the control which version of Microsoft Office was installed. If you do not use Office at all, or if you use another word processor (StarOffice, AbiWord, etc.), the spelling checker in Outlook Express is not. If at all like me, a spell checker can be your best friends!

Now, here's the answer, I promise. There seems to be an upgrade from an earlier version ofMicrosoft Office to Office 2007 has many new opportunities, one of which is a new and improved spell check. The old spelling checker files for English, German and Spanish will be removed during installation and replace with the release of Office 2007. Unfortunately, the new spelling checker files are not compatible with Outlook Express (Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB932974). In writing this article, Microsoft has no plans at this address.

Well, what can you do? According to Microsoftthere is enough of a third spell checker out there. Many of them are even free! So I went through the trouble to try a couple of them and here they are:

Spelling Download to OE – I am currently using one, and is one of the few free spell checker out there.

ABCSpell for Outlook Express 7.1.3.2 – I tried this here at home – which contains a dictionary of synonyms.

SpellCheck.net [http://www.spellcheck.net] This is a free online spell checker that can be used asnot what you want to install on your computer.

Another option is to create e-mail in Word to edit and then copies in Outlook Express.

If you want to find the spelling, just type "spell check" in your favorite search engine. Be careful when downloading from all sides. Ask your friendly neighborhood computer man secure sites for download.

Happy spelling!
