Outlook Express Spell Check HELP!

[Guest]

I don't understand how to get the spell check to work on my Outlook Express. I have Windows XP for home and I ran the Regedt32 file and everything appeared normal. My spell check for Word works fine, so how do I correct this problem and link the spell check from Work to Express... Please help!

To check the spelling in messages

Outlook Express uses the spelling checker provided with the following
Microsoft Office programs: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft
PowerPoint. If you do not have one of these programs installed, the Spelling
command is not available.

a.. In the New Message window, click Spelling on the toolbar, or on the
Tools menu, click Spelling.
b.. To customize the way your spelling checker works, on the Tools menu,
click Options, and then select the Spelling tab.

I went to the Options tab, everything is fine there... I have Microsoft Word, but it still isn't working?

You need to search on the web for a file called "csapi3t1.dll" and copy it
to the folder "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof". You might
need to restart Windows but the spell checker should work now.

Cheers.
