Outlook Express Spell Checker

 

So I use Outlook Express for all of the lists that I belong to so I don’t bog down my Exchange box with a lot of clutter. Since I sit across from the Exchange guy, I don’t want my name coming up on any reports about usage. Hence the use of OE.

I recently noticed that Spell Checker is weird. Weird suggestions, telling me every word is wrong, etc. So I decide to check it out only to discover that the language is set to French and there are no other choices. What? Since when? I use my trusty friend Google and discover that it’s a known problem after installing Office 2007. Who knew? My only option was to install a 3rd party spell checker. That worked.  I guess you can’t test for everything. I’m sure no one else has Office 2007 and Outlook Express 6.

Yeah...I think folks are using the new Windows Live mail application.  Have you tried that one?  Support for OE is close to being over, I think.
