....a fairly newly-installed copy of Outlook Express.

The spellcheck hasn't been operable since "go".

Thank you in advance, if you are able help.

@msolga,
Not sure if this will help or not, but I just explored my email settings.


Go to Tools at the upper left hand corner of your email screen.

Click on Options


On the pane that opens up select the folder heading Spelling

At the top of that it says settings


You may need to tick "Always check spelling before sending"

And, if you like "Suggest alternatives to misspelled words"

My spell check was also not on.



You made me learn something!

Hope it works for you.

@dlowan,
Ah. There is no "spelling" folder.

Tried all the other folders and "spelling" isn't in any of them, either. Strange. Confused

@dlowan,
Yep, dammit, bunny!

Thank you for trying, anyway. And I'm glad you learned something. Smile

I have to go out now, be back later on.

@rydinearth,
Thank you, rydinearth.

One of the downloads on the site fixed the problem, easily & quickly! Very Happy (I won't go into details here. Suffice to say that it was necessary to remove then replace most of the software on my computer recently.)

Hey, what an interesting site! (MajorGeeks)
