Very Computer

I am an not able to do a spell check on my emails prior to
sending them.  When I click the tools bar, the "spelling"
is not highlighted.  How do I fix this??

I have a similar problem:  Outlook Express 6.0 tries to
install Microsoft Picture It! Publishing 2001 when I try
to spell check a message.  I've been unable to find a
simple way of "repairing" Outlook Express or Outlook
Explorer.

The Microsoft Internet Mail and News and Outlook Express programs do not come with a spell
checker.  They will use the spell checker from any of several Microsoft 32-bit
(Win95/98/NT4 specific) programs.  If using Works 4.0, a registry change is required.
Reportedly, if you install the free trial version of some Microsoft products such as Front
Page or Publisher, and then uninstall them, the spell checker will be left behind.  There
are also some shareware spell checkers that may work (see the URL in my signature).
