To check the spelling in messages

Outlook Express uses the spelling checker provided with all Microsoft Office 95 or Office 97 programs— Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs installed, the Spelling command is not available.

• In the New Message window, click the Tools menu, and then click Spelling.
• To check spelling in an individual message, click the Tools menu in a new message window, and then click Spelling.
