    Have you tried looking in tools>spelling ?. The option only appers when you are creating/replying to a message.

    Its quite well hidden compared to other microsoft programs.

  • I always thought you needed Microsoft Word to get the spellchecker to work

    see also post number 38 in the free software thread - apparently it's an app that checks spelling in any MS program - might be of use?

    It uses word's spellchecker but I assumed that he probably had it installed.

    Try this if words not installed, http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

    As far as i can find out its only available if the version of works includes Microsoft Word, if it does and its still not working, try this http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_010.html
