Spell Checker

[caslass]

I have IE as my browser. I installed spell checker, ( I think it's called ispell ) when i right click on it says check complete. I have spelt things wrong to see if it is working, which it clearly isn't. Is there a checker to install that is at the top of the screen all the time so that after I have typed I can just click on it. By this I am sure you can tell I am not very computer literate. ( or good at spelling either ) Cas

I use the spell checker for Outlook Express which is always available when writing E-mails and is in the address bar of Windows Explorer too.

A bit late but I hope this helps.

Outlook Express does not have its own spell checker, it uses the spell checker associated with other installed software. This is from OE Help:-

To check the spelling in messages

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.

In the New Message window, click Spelling on the toolbar, or on the Tools menu, click Spelling.
Note

To customize the way your spelling checker works, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then select the Spelling tab.

Thank you both for your help.

Dodger, the lead I have given above from snapfiles is a separate application specifically for Outlook Express and shows an icon on the menu bar both in OE and Internet Explorer. Very handy if you haven't got the other associated Microsoft applications which would provide a spell checker for OE.
