Spell
Checker for Outlook Express
You know I always
thought it was odd that Outlook Express no longer includes any sort of
integrated spell checker. Back in the days when MS Office included Windows
operating systems, having a spell check was obviously not an issue, but
once they discontinued the bundling of these components, Windows was left
without any sort of spellchecker. Not only is this an inconvenience for
the new PC buyer, but it is also expensive. A recent copy of MS Word 2003
is in the neighborhood of $135.00- $170.00. That’s more expensive
than XP and it’s an entire operating system.
Not everyone has or
needs MS Word. In my opinion, there are other word processing programs
out there that can perform a somewhat comparable job at word processing
for less. Everyone I know that owns a PC primarily uses it for two things:
surfing the Web and sending e-mails. If this sounds like you, then today’s
download could be right up your alley.
Today’s download
of the week is spell check and it is a stand-alone spell checker for OE.
This tiny little program will instill confidence in you while you're pumping
out the e-mails. Spell checker attaches to your OE and appears to be just
another standard toolbar icon, and you can also access it by pressing
F7, just like Windows' own spell checker. As a matter of fact, it acts
so much like Microsoft’s own spell checker, you may not notice the
difference.
That’s it. Nothing fancy. There are no extra features and as a matter
of fact, you can’t even see it in your programs list. So if you
find yourself needing a spell checker for a PC, think about using the
one configured in OE. Don’t pay Mr. Gates insane amounts of money
for something that should be included with the operating system anyhow.
Instead pay Chad….a visit and I’ll get you squared away.
