Lubert,
Go to Tools>Options>Font Settings. You can choose a Font color there.

Open the New Message window and make sure that under Format you have selected Rich Text (HTML). That will place a formatting toolbar above the message drafting area.

You do need Microsoft's Word, Excel or Powerpoint installed so that MS Outlook Express can use the spell checker. OE cannot use Corel's Word Perfect for spelling. OE does not come with a spell checker of its own--not Dell's fault. Open Help in OE and look up spelling. It says: To check the spelling in messages
Outlook Express uses the spelling checker provided with the following Microsoft Office programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs installed, the Spelling command is not available.

Or you can download spell checker for OE, such as this one
http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/
or this one
http://www.alcodasoftware.com/spell-magic.htm
Note, I am not endorsing these, they are just two examples I found when I googled for 'spell checker for Outlook Express'. Suggest you do that and choose one you fancy.

Lubert,
It works for me. I change the font color under tools and it changes the color in my emails?

If you want to have HTML Format & Toolbar permanently for "Create Mail" use OE , Tools > Options > Send tab , Mail sending format HTML checked & if you also want to send pictures click on HTML Settings button & tick "Send pictures with message".
Then if you want to change Font color during message click on Toolbar "A" .
Toolbar for Font color is only active when you click on message Body.
As mentioned before you can download FREE Spell Checker for XP OE from;
http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/
Allow install to create new folder
Use OE "Create Mail" & Right click on 2nd Toolbar & select Customize to add ABC / Spelling
You can also use Inbox >Tools >Options >Spelling to set items.

Marvin P. I have gone to Tools>Options>Font Settings> When I choose a color it always goes back to black. I have no color at all other that this.
Also when I am on the Create Mail message page and click on the A (for color) a dot appears before the color but then when the drop down tab disappears, it is the same as before.

LuBert,
I'm glad you got the Spell Checker, I don't know any other way to get colors. Do you get color in Word?
