Install JUST the speller?

[Bruce Chastain]

I use Outlook Extpress all the time, but it doesn't have a built in speller,
that comes from the Office package. So I've bought Office, only to discover
that my laptop is too hard drive challenged to be able to waste space for
programs I'll never use, Word, Outlook. Powerpoint. etc. I don't want
anything from the Office package except the speller.

Is is possible to install JUST the speller from Office to my laptop so that
Outlook Express can use it?

Thanks,
Bruce.

Well, you have a copy of Office you can use on your next PC.

Yep. I wish MS would provide that as an add-on feature for OE. I would
have gladly paid for the ability to install just that, instead of the spave
hogging Office package just to get the speller.
