That is normal on new systems. Do a search for a spellchecker and install.

The problem is due to the new Office 2007, not either Windows XP or Outlook Express.
Office 2007 uses a spell checker that is not compatible with Outlook Express.
Best solution is to download one of several stand-alone spell checkers that are available for
Outlook Express.
Do a Google Search for "OE spellchecker" and you will find many.

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007

[More discussion: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80]

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try one of
these free spell checkers instead:

Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell (checks spelling as you type)
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)
http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/

If you have an earlier version of Office available as well, see:
