Firstly you need MS Office installed to have the spell checker available, it does not have one of its own. Secondly I would advise the user to go into the "tools" menu and open "options". Then control+tab to the "security" page. Tab through and there is a check box that says something like "hide attachments or other files that may be harmful to my computer" and uncheck it. Then tab to "OK", that should cure the attachment problem. Regards.
