Dear James:
I just received your reply to some of my questions. Just before i
shut down my system for dinner, I have found the location for the
icons and produced them from the program listing. It was not as easy
as from the start menu, but it's done now. I have noticed that you
have them under the start menu when i was looking for the reason why
there is still no spell check for Outlook Express. I quess the program
just not linking up with outlook express like Microsoft Word or Corel
Write does.
I do not believe OpenOffice provides a spell check for Outlook.
Can i write emails through Open Office Write and send them as
emails through Outlook Express? Or you have your own equivalent in
your program?
Yes, OpenOffice can use almost any email program. On Windows, it will
use whatever is the default email application.
My next question is, do you have a program equivalent to Microsoft
Power Point as part of of your suite of programs. My friend is getting
a lot of pictures as attachments to emails and can not open them
without Power Point. If you have, than i will download your program on
his computer too and install it. This was a question in my email to
you but i did not get a reply to the question. Than he could also use
your writer to send emails, but he must have a spell checker too,
because he don't like sending emails with errors. He does have
Microsoft Word, while i don't.
The presestation application in OpenOffice, comparable to PowerPoint is
called "Impress". I believe there are 3rd party spell checkers for
Outlook, but I don't have any information on them, as I do not use
Outlook. In fact, I recommend against using Outlook at all as there are
a lot of problems with it. A popular email program is called
"Thunderbird", which is a free download from www.mozilla.com and
includes it's own spell checker, though I believe it can share the
dictionary with OpenOffice. OpenOffice works well with Thunderbird.
Incidentally, what your friend is experiencing is called "lock in",
where Microsoft ties it's applications to each other, in a manner
intended to prevent you from using other software. The sooner you break
that, the better.
