| 178611 | 2003-09-28 07:42:00 | Godfather has helped me fix a problem with reading files following my uninstalling Works Vers 6.0 and installing Works Suite 2000. He got me a converter download for that problem. I have now found that doing this software change has also lost my spelling check in Outlook Express - it is running okay in "Word" but not for my email. So more help please - have posted it back on my earlier message but have set under another topic in case the earlier one appeared to have been all concluded. Maybe godfather will see this too - fingers crossed and thanks again. | tuktuk (4638) | ||
| 178612 | 2003-09-28 08:04:00 | As far as I know, OE relies on Word for its spelling checker. If word is not installed, there is no spelling checker. You have now got Word installed so it *should* work So, you have "lost" the spell checker - can you explain? Is the option "greyed out", or does it produce an error? Apart from that, I can't help a lot as I avoid using OE at all costs. I have not used it since about 1998, so my knowledge is dated |

| 178614 | 2003-09-28 11:10:00 | To Godfather...I have not got access to that p.c. right now but think it is NOT greyed out and just does nothing - no window of any sort - just as if it does not function. Yes I'm sure it is not greyed out as last time I saw it I also checked that it was on the toolbar etc etc. I am trying to think if, when I had Word 2000 installed on another p.c. there was a problem - -guess the question is - "Does Word 2000 support spelling check". Appreciate the anmswer to that as a starting point I guess. Interested that you do not use OutExpress...presume you use Outlook - where can I find the pros and cons of these two programs - and is Outlook (if that is what you use) reasonably easy to use with similar functions? |

| 178615 | 2003-09-28 11:17:00 | Have just thought - as Outlook Express was installed prior to Word 2000 - would it be that after having put in Word 2000 I should reinstall Outlook Express to enable the spell check - just a thought without any technical knowhow on this????? | tuktuk (4638) | ||
| 178616 | 2003-09-28 11:22:00 | W2000 certainly does spellcheck, perhaps loading W2000 after OE may be the problem? There are free add-on spell checkers available for OE I think, but they will probably be US English |

| 178619 | 2003-09-29 03:04:00 | Mate you are going to be completely buggered if you use usa English! Liter, plow, color, defense, capitol etc. How horrible using the language of these nasty buggers who attack other countries and kill the presidents sons. Got to get the Queens English spell checker going, they say New Zealanders are more English than the English. tedheath |

| 178620 | 2003-09-29 03:37:00 | Ted. With a name like Ted Heath how English can you get. It was a terrific Big Band of its time. About the same era as Johhny Dankworth & Cleo Lane As to NZers being more English than the English. That could well be true in some respects. NZers have still got the Politenes, Friendliness & Hospitality that the UK had years ago. PJ |
