Outlook Express 6: "Spelling" button is grayed out.

Spell checking is disabled and I don't know how to activate it. It is a Dell Dimension 2400, Windows XP, O.E. 6. Installed WordPerfect Productivity Pack. Help please?

OE 6 doesn't come with it's own spellcheck. You need to Word or MS Office program, before 2007. The spell checker in Works 4 to 6 will work with OE, but not other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can download a free spell check to one of these sites. WordPerfect is a Corel program and this spell check will not work.

  • Outlook Express 6 spelling checker stopped working

    I have Outlook Express 6 on XP Home SP3.  The spelling checker feature has recently stopped working.  The icon is there, but it is grayed out.  I tried to remove the icon from the toolbar Customize the function and then adding again.  When I add again, the icon lights up as if it is fixed, but when I close the box to customize the icon returns to status greyed out.  By reading the help, I saw that OE uses the spelling checker provided with Microsoft Office.  I have Office 2010 installed and the spelling checker works fine in Office applications.  Any help would be appreciated!

  • How can I import from Outlook 2007 when the option is grayed out?

    I'm moving from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird. All is well until now, but I need to import my old mails from Outlook. When I go to tools > import > Mail I get options for Eudora, Outlook, and Outlook Express. Eudora and Outlook options are grayed out. The option for Outlook Express is available, but who isn't even an option for me, since I am on Windows 7.

    I've read a few articles, and they point out that you must always have Outlook installed and configured as the default e-mail client. I made sure Outlook is set as the default mail client, but the import option is still grayed out. I tried restarting both Outlook and Thunderbird. I also tried the import with Outlook open and closed.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • In the dialog "Manage the list of search engine", the "Restore Defautls" button is grayed out!

    Hello

    I use Firefox 6.0.1 on Windows 7.

    I installed software player Free Desktop Clock 2.37 and then Firefox was hi-jacked, so I chose carefully the custom displays.

    Edit: Free Desktop Clock itself does not hi-jack Firefox. This is another program (forget the name) comes with Free Desktop Clock that made him, adding a toolbar, change the home page, change the default search engine, etc. In fact, these forced alterations can be changed easily, return as a reset of the "keyword.url" pref For example, "hi-jack" can be a description which is too strong.

    In any case, I managed to clean - toolbar requested, forced homepage, forced the default search engine, etc.

    But there is still a problem.

    In the dialog, to manage the search engine, listthat appears when you click the arrow to the left of the search bar and then click on manage search engines, the default button is disabled (grayed out).

    How can we reactivated this button?

    Thank you.

    Finally, I realize that the 'Restore Defaults' button is enabled only when the default search engine is removed. The purpose of this button is to add all the missing default search providers. She, as I misunderstood, does not serve to remove search providers added by the user.

    So, I was wrong to blame Free Desktop Clock, no matter how bad it is.

    I read a mail, and although it is active enamel I hit the button answer.
    'The problem' Outlook express address chooses to send the answer to the do goes I thought answer automatically sends the message to the address it was sent for example the message comes of * address email is removed from the privacy * and the answer will to * address email is removed from the privacy *.

  • Help! Outlook Express will not download and wiped out my Inbox. I get the message (SSL) Protocol: Pop3.Port110.Secure: No.Error number: OX800CO:33

    My saved Inbox messages disappeared and it is said that it is downloading new messages, but then stops and gives me the abov error message: Protocol: Pop3.Port 110.Secure (SSL): No.ErrorNumber:0x800co:33

    Can someone please help?

    Are you sure that this error message is not 0x800co133?

    Your Inbox is damaged due to become bloated and/or lack of compaction.

    1: view | Current view. Show all Messages is verified?

    2: If Yes to the #1, see if you have an Inbox.bak file in the Recycle Bin of Windows and if so, what is the date of creation?

    3: If Yes to 1 and 2, after the return before doing anything else.

    4: If so #1 and not #2, you will need a tool to recover lost messages if you wish.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the box of Inbox.dbx and rename it to Inboxold.dbx.  A new Inbox will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Then you will need a tool to run the Inboxold.dbx file.

    DBXpress {faster for large files and can retrieve messages after compaction in extract from disk mode}
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    And backup often.
