Anyone person please advise me how to activate my spellcheck in Outlookexpress 6.0?
(I tried to download the Dll file that is suppose to do this but do not know where to run/save it at?)
Second, How do I share a program for all users in my XP Home Edition?
Dogman
Spellcheck : from the OE page - tools - options - spelling ?????
Sharing : desktop - right/click 'my computer' - explore - browse to programme to be shared,
e.g. : c:\programme files\toybox\winamp.
right/click on the winamp folder icon - properties - sharing.
then set permissions [same place as sharing] to allow who can get in, and what they can do.
all this assuming you are in an account that allows you to do this ? XP home default admin account is accessed via safe mode. XP Home only has admin / limited as its account options.
When I click on my email CREATE the type out an email my little "ABC Spelling" with a check above it is "faded out" I believe a microsoft critical/update has disabled it ,i was reading some where about adding a "C???.DLL" file to my system somewhere to re-enabled it, I cant seem to find any check box to enabled it I use OE 5.5 on the system I am referring to.
dogman,
Checkout this link: http://www.tech-pro.net/howto_010.html which should tell you all you need to know.
Basically you need a version of MSWord on your PC.
At home I'm running WinXPpro, but have never updated my copy of Office95.
I only use it for documents and basic spreadsheets, so why hand over extra $$ to MS ??
Copying the csapi3t1.dll file into my OE folder worked fine.
If you don't have a master WinXP CD, then I'm sure you'll be able to find a copy by googling for it.
Edit: Despite the title, the same information is also correct for OE v5
Hey thanks!, i got it running just fine very good, I was wondering if anyone ever read my post,...
I do appreciate it...
On my other Machine I cant find "Spelling" tab when I open Outlookexpress 6.0 when I click HELP ,ABOUT then it shows me Version 6.0 OE and I can see the new file is there csapi3t1.dll
Still on this machine nothing works after I type a message in my email?
suggestion on this one?
dogman,
That doesn't make sense unless you don't have a copy of MSWord on this PC.
I've been running OE v6.0 for some time on my home PC, and it works fine.
WinXP and OE are bang up to date (of course!), and no problems ...
To see if it's really disabled, create a new email and hit F7 (shortcut to spell checker).
You could possibly have customised OE to omit this tab, so F7 will give you a definitive answer.
Also check Tools->Options->Spelling, and make sure this is enabled, which will spellcheck it when you try to send the email.
I'd also make sure the csapi3t1.dll is in both locations suggested by my original link.
I spent some time fiddling with this about 2 years ago, and for some odd reason it needs to be in both locations on my PC.
I have WordPad and Wordperfect-12 on XP and uding 6.0OE and using 5.0 OE upgraded to 5.5 with all the patches microsft have issued I think they took the spellin TAB off?
I do not have a spelling Tab on either machine OE program,maybe I missed it but, I tried TOOLS,OPTIONS,then I have GENERAL,SECURITY,COMPOSE MAINTENACE,SEND,CONNECTIONS,
READ,RECIPTS,SIGNATURE, no spelling, it changeged after a MSN update I think?
You don't have MS Word then ?Quote:

you can drop a shortcut onto your desktop, then copy it, Right click 'my computer' > explore > C:\ > documents and settings > find the 'all users' file, expand to find desktop, paste the shortcut there ...............
As foxyloxley so eloquently put it, this is your problem.
You might like to review my original link for other suggested options.
The problem you reported with OE v5 was completely different, as in fact this was caused by an upgrade to OE, which wiped the dll file.
OE v6 works fine with any version of MSWord, but you don't have one .....
Do I have MS Word not yet...free copy onjline somewhere?.... I have WordPad but This is no good ? Thanks Darkes
OK.... I have read some and love the RUN AS command in XP, but will try the Shortcut tip Foxyloxy,
I have to deal with an email that tried to load "some program" fortunatley I caught it before it entered my registries,...."I hope"... :)
Will be on later today, if I can more time to adjust my settings etc,...
Oh yeaah the spell check on this site seems to use JAVA right? I have version 1.5.0 installed Spellcheck on this site just hangs like it is going to work,and says Please wait.... probably my JAVA setting in my Java Control Panel?/and or security settings, but maybe this has come up before and you can save me some time?

Nope, WordPad is merely what comes with WinXP, and is not MSWord.
No legal free copies of MSWord are available.
You need some type of MSOffice or MSWorks, both of which are pretty cheap in their basic form.
As a simple workaround, merely use (CTRL+A ) to select all your text, copy it (CTRL+C ) to the clipboard, and paste it (CTRL+V ) into your Word processing program - WordPerfect in your case. Then spellcheck it, and correct any errors.
Repeat as required - not the cleanest of solutions, but this will work :D
Alternatively create the text of your reply in WordPerfect, and use the above to transfer the text of your reply to this or any other forum, or any new email.
Just be aware that any formatting you use won't work, so stick to basic text, and tidy it up before you post or email it.
Edit: Obviously your final paste should be to your email, reply etc.
Yes, this site does use some form of Java, which I don't trust so I use the approach in the previous paragraph above to get around this.
If you want to look at other spell checkers for automatic email spell checking, then you could try the suggestions at the bottom of my original link.
Can't vouch for them, as I've never used them, but you may well come up with other options if you google for it.
