OE requires installation of MS Word for the spell-checker to function. Armed 
with this information, Amando may be able to find a solution from Microsoft. I 
won't respond to more messages on this subject in recognition that the question 
is not related to JAWS. I just wanted to suggest an answer that might help 
someone who doesn't use English as a first language participate fully in the 
list. I was hoping someone might have a more direct solution.

I don't think that outlook express incorperates the spell checker you have in 
word, it's outlook that does this.

Hi, Amando.

I don't know the answer, but I have a suggestion. As you probably know, Outlook 
Express doesn't have a spell-checker. It incorporates the spell-checker that 
you have in MS Word. Obviously, your MS Word is also a Dutch version. But you 
might contact Microsoft to inquire if there's a way of using the MS Word 
dictionary to enable you to spell-check OE messages that you write in English.

Good luck.
