outlook express spell check

I am using a Dell laptop with the XP system, Outlook express and Word 97. The
software was preloaded in the computer. I loaded Office 97. The spell check
will not operate when composing E-mail messages. I would be extremely
grateful for any help in getting the spell check to operate.

Since this is a Windows Update newsgroup, you should ask this in an Outlook
Express or Word newsgroup:

The OE spell-check runs when you click "send" not in real
time as you type. Make sure you have the spell setting
checked in Tools/Options in OE.
