Getting spell check to work
In my outlook 6 email program there is a feature called spell check. It's at the top of the message box and you click on it after you've written your email to make sure your spelling is correct. For a long time it was working but now that button is grayed out and I can't access it. I want to know how to get it back working again.

Hi Pulloshon,
First thank you for writing,but, on my options in O.E.6 there is no spelling feature that you indicated in the facsimile in your email. I am wondering if I may have tinkered around with some buttons and clicked on something that changed the configuration around on my program. Do you have any idea how I can restore my email program to the way yours is?998

jimJam1,
Spell checking in Outlook Express requires that Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint be installed on the computer. If you have recently removed them your spell checking options will no longer be available.
The procedure for troubleshooting spell checking in OE is illustrated here.

Hi Denny,
Thanks again for coming to the rescue. After installing Microsoft word my spell check came right up and is functioning well.998

My OE6 spellchecker has never worked. I have WInXP but am running an old Word97 and Excel97. I watched the video and the 2 mss..files are in the right place but I found the csapi3t1.dll in Prog files\msn\msn core files. Should I move it or copy it the other folder? I haven't checked the registry yet. I always figured it was because of the old word version 97.Christine998

volvogirl1,
Is it ok to have more than 1 copy of a dll file in different places?
Yes, as long a there is a copy where the application that uses it looks for it.
