RW: I think there are two issues you have here: 1. Spellchecking your document OOo: make sure the dictionary you have Tools->Spellcheck->Check and then the language is the same language as the document text you want checked (select a paragraph, right click->Character then look for the language under font). Fool around with these settings. 2. You want your email client to have spellcheck. I think you are using Outlook Express (correct me if I'm wrong) and it doesn't have spellcheck included (dumb isn't it?) unless you install MSOffice. OOo can't provide the spell check at this time (illegal, etc. from MS). If you really want spell check for email, I suggest you try Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/ ) which comes with spell check, spam filtering, and has less security holes, etc. It will completely import all your settings and mail from OE.
