Almost as bad as OE itself. You have to ask for spell check. Then suspect words are highlighted; OK. Then you have to ask for suggestions and most of the time it gets it wrong. The second biggest mistake one can make is downloading this annoying spell checker - the first being Outlook Express.

Even the best spellers mistype quite frequently and this little program will help you to catch most errors. I say most errors because the associated spell check dictionary is not always 100% accurate but neither is the one from MS Office.

This is the perfect add-on for Outlook Express. As I find that my spelling is bad, this program sure helps me out when I send emails to friends and family.

Since I installed Microsoft Office 7 I noticed that spell check did not work in Outlook Express 6 in the English language. It would check spelling in French with no option to change to English. Once I added this little gem of a program spell check in OE6 works like a charm in the English language. This program definitely gets two thumbs up!

This is a great program, but I doubt it is legal. Unless you have the program where the spell checking files came from, so I've added the dutch versions to boot! (Not hard to do.) Works great. Note: I can't recommend it yea or nay, so I said yes. same goes for Price/Value, which is excellent in my case. Thanks. :)

Thank you, at last a spell checker for Outlook Express that you do not need a degree in computer studies to be able to install it. I will soon teach it to spell in English (British) as well as American. Excellent product, thank you once again.

Fits right in. You'll never know it's not the real thing. It doesn't have the largest dictionary in the world but for the price, it's acceptable. I've used it several times a day for about 5 years and it's never failed.

Great rugged, easy, gotta have for email. I have used it for 2 years in XP and lost tract how long in W98. Never any problem. Also use Cetus WordPad to get spell check in wordpad, so now it does 95% of my word processing

Integrates perfectly with OE. Does everything that it's meant to do for a spell checker, i.e. finds errors,corrects and replaces.
