Outlook Express 5 has spell checking (Tools -> Spelling) when you are editing your message. I don't remember if OE98 had that or not. Give it a try. If not, do the upgrade (it's free).

I have OE5.
When you write a message - when you click on New Mail or File -> New -> Mail.

If you go back to the original screen, can you see the Tools -> Options -> Spelling tab?

In order for the spell check option to work in OE you must have a microsoft 32 bit spell checker install on your computer (expamples Microsoft Works 4.5, Microsoft Office 7.0 for Windows 95 or Microsoft Office 97 programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint or later versions.
Which is what I am getting at. However, there are known cases where installing some software (e.g., Office 2000) has cleared the spell checker. Most situations require re-installing Outlook Express.
As an alternative, you can install a 3rd party spell checker like:

The next step is to check the registry settings (if you have a spell checker installed already).

What this means is: I do not have
spell checker on my win 98 (first edition) disk
because there is none, and if this
is the case I will have to buy it
if so which is the best bang for
the buck ( of the Microsoft wariety)?
