Install Word and its proffing tools.

Seriously, OE does not come with a spelling checker. It uses the spelling
checker from any other 32-bit Microsoft program that has one. Do you have
such a program?

If not you could try one of these:

Free spellchecker.

Check your settings Tools-> Options-> tab Spelling

For further assistance ask in an Outlook Express forum. This is an
Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the
Office family.

Here is the link for the right forum

Good Luck!

Outlook 98 and higher install Outlook Express as its news reader, so asking
in an Outlook group is legitimate.
