Computer help forum: add Uk English to Spell Check OE 2.1

is available if you install Office 97 (or even just MS Word alone along with its dictionaries) as you can select and set the preferred Language. You don't have to use MS Word but you do have to have it installed to use its different languages for spell checking.

As for Spell Check OE 2.1, you should have mentioned that it was the spell checker "utility" you were currently using with OE as some might well have thought you simply had made a typo and were using Outlook Express 5.1.

AussiePete's suggestion should work and if you try contacting the utility's author he might be able to provide you with what you want or explain how to create a dictionary his program can make use of.

iespell does not help in Outlook Express.

You don't mention the problems you had installing MS Word but you don't have to use it, just to have it installed so the spell checker is accessible.

Altrnatively, since you do have a legal version of MS Office you can use some of its files without installing Office. Here are instructions:

A free office application suite that does provide spell checking in Outlook Express is Easy Office, BUT I do not know if it has UK dictionaries--I think it does but you would have to check. http://www.download.com/3000-2079-10054140.html

Alternatively, here is a link to a commercial application that will work with OE and has an assortment of spelling dictionaries. While not free it is rather inexpensive - http://www.spellchecker.com/AS_retail_2003/ASOE_2003.htm

MS Office CD and you will not have the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof directory if you don't have MS Office installed. You will have to create the directory yourself and place the files into it.

Most of the lexicon files are in the OS\MSAPPS\PROOF directory on the CD. Just search it for the rest of the files indicated and place all of them in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof directory you create then don't forget the registry.

No, the ieSpell doesn't load into Outlook Express 6. (Still a greyed-out non-option)
Any other suggestion for this?
It's a good feature to have on your ie browser though.

Can I add a Spanish (Argentina) dictionary to Spell Check OE 2.1 ?

I have OE 6, XP Sp3 , OpenOffice 3.2.

Thanks in advance
