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.

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

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 :thumbright:

Doesnt do grammar tho :roll:
