Help

Why does the spell checker not work? i need to type a letter and i need a spell checker i was going to use the one hear but its not working.

Is there anything in windows XP i can use to type and compose a letter that will also check my spelling? i have never used a PC as a word procesor so i do not know what to do? cheers.

It is working, make sure the check box next to spell check is ticked.

Thanks

It no longer works for me TyreFryer

i did a pc cleanup last night a Defrag of the drive and cleared all my Cookies etc,so that could have caused this? everything else works though

I will try that Microsoft work thanks.I dont think i have it on my PC? i will go and look cheers.

What program are you using to type your letter Tony? Surely it's Microsoft Word, or similar? Word has its own spellcheck....

I just composed it using Outlook ex-pres and then when i was happy with it i wrote on to paper by hand

i do not have the MS works installed on my PC.

You should still be able to use spellcheck in Outlook/Outlook Express - when you've typed your message click on Tools at the top, then Spelling.

It will go thru your letter and prompt you on any mistakes

Doesnt do grammar tho
