I just turned on my spell checker and it marked almost every word as wrong in Newsreader, so I did some investigating and found the only dictionary available is French. jim

As for your problem, have you recently installed or upgraded to Office 2007? If so, take a look at this article. You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974 Here are a couple of free spell checkers that you may find helpful. Spell Checker for OE http://www.snapfiles.com/get/spelloe.html Spell Checker for OE 2.1 http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 I was able to get around this issue because I had a copy of Office 2003. You can install the Proofing tools from the Office 2003 installation CD and it will restore the spell checking capabilities in Outlook Express. Good luck Nepatsfan

No, smartass, Nepatsfan found the issue. Microsoft again fvked us by breaking built-in functionality with the install of Office 2007 (which, btw, has no newsreader that I can find). Check out the KB at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974 (courtesy of Nepatsfan).

Outlook Express is the MS newsreader.

Microsoft screwed us again. I really fail to see why Office 2007 should break OE functionality - *especially* when Office 2007 has no newsreader that I can find. I tried the OE spell checker, but it wouldn't work for me (didn't catch a single error). However I did find a cure for this problem - Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/features.html). It seems to handle email and newsgroups and (with the free lightning add-on(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2313)) all of my calendar functions too. And, it's free! Thanks again for helping me figure out what caused the problem! jim

Nevermind that XP books regularly write about OE. You are a frickin' GENIUS!!!!! Thank you so much for pointing out.....well, whatever you pointed out. Bless you! May your path be strewn with people just like you! jim

With the release of Vista, Microsoft has decided to "abandon" Outlook Express. Whenever you install Office 2007, MS purposely "breaks" the proofing tools that Office "shares" with Outlook Express. Lets all hope that MS hears all the complaints!!!!!

Outlook Express still exists in Windows Vista; Microsoft simply renamed it "Windows Mail," which is nothing more than the latest release of Outlook Express. There are some differences under the hood, but from a look and feel standpoint, Windows Mail is almost identical to Outlook Express. Personally I'm glad they changed the name. The old name was far too frequently confused with Outlook, a very different program. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup
