411226 2005-12-09 01:00:00 You need MsOffice, or a free spell checking program from somewhere, or a file called csapi3t1.dll, which goes in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof

I think this file is in one of the XP cab files on the XP cd.

Or if you havent got either, send me a pm and I'll email the file to you.

411227 2005-12-09 01:32:00 thanks but it seems my problem is that i don't have a spell checker at all as i have no recent version of Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works
as desgribed "The steps described above will only enable spell checking in Outlook Express if you have a recent version of Microsoft Office or Microsoft Works"
and as i dont use any office prod i am not likely to go out and buy one
any more suggestions
perhaps a free spell checker prog
thank you

Hell, if we only stuck to how it was done in the old days we would only have 3 words....
