No Spell Check in MS Outlook Exp. 6

Capt. Manny · 11-19-2008, 08:13 AM

My Outlook Exp. 6 uses (NotePad) for checking my out going mail. I know it dosen't have a spell check in it. I have MS words on my computer and want to use that as my spell checker. What I think happened was when I got my new Dell computer it didn't have any MS products installed. Because I installed my MS disk AFTER I installed my E-mail connection, I think it only added Notepad for the spelling. How can I change it to MS Words?

Manny,
If that's the case, you should be able to add an email account to Express and have Word work with it as the spell checker.

- Backup your current email data files for Express.
- Remove your email account in Express.
- Add the account info back into Express.
- Run through the steps for "Import" in Express to import your email history from the backup location back into this new account setup.
