Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / March 2008Stupid Office 12 Spell Check screw up
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974 A sensible fix might be nice. A well known issue. But what about the millions of people that never used an Office program like myself and had always needed a third party spell check. Outlook Express never had one of its own and nobody said boo about that. Since production of Outlook Express ceased in 2006, there will be no fix.

I've always had Office installed... I don't care if it's ceased. They broke, they should fix it. Or buy me an owl. :A well known issue.

You need Word or an MS Office program pre 2007. The spell checker in Works 4 through 6 will work with OE, but not other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can download a free spell check at one of these sites.

Maybe we can take up a collection for an owl. <g> SignatureBruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA > Didn't OE come with spellcheck anyway? I've always had Office > installed...

MS Outlook Express was designed by a different team from the one which works on MS Office. The MSOE team "broke" things by hooking the Office spell check, rather than creating one of their own. The Office team broke nothing. SignatureNorman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. But why French?????
