Hi Blseguin, the spelcheck in OE, is dependent on either Word or MS Works being installed on the computer as they share the program. It is an MS thing<g> See; http://www.pcnineoneone.com/tweaks/scripts8.html/#spellcheck and; http://www.hexacom.cc/qsc/ What is Quick Spell Check? Quick Spell Check is a very handy utility that you can use to get a quick spell check on any word you enter. Simply run the program, type in a word and click a button. If your word is spelled incorrectly you will get a list of suggested corrections. Double click on the correct spelling to copy that word to the Window's clipboard. That's it!
