Did you load the Office 2007 upgrade?
Here's fix for your spell checker.
Google is your friend

Good luck,

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try a free
spell checker instead:

http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (checks spelling as you type)

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007

OE doesn't come with spell check - that's your first problem.

The second problem is bigger: you are asking in the wrong group.

Notice Outlook Express is not in this group's title.

Outlook Express does NOT come with a spiel chucker.

From Outlook Express HELP:
"Outlook Express uses the spelling checker provided with the following
Microsoft Office programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft
PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs installed, the Spelling
command is not available."

Hi Scully,

I noticed you mentioned the Australian settings.

The following site has a free spell check program for Outlook Express.

http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oooau/

For Australians, that is colour/organise instead of color/organize, the patch also needs to be run after the program is installed.

I hope this helps.
