To resolve this problem once and for all and to enable Outlook Express spell
check facilities, proceed as follows,
Copy csapi3t1.dll and WINWORD to C:\Program Files\Outlook Express
The csapi3t1.dll does NOT have to in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Proof as most internet geeks dictate.
WINWORD, a component of Microsoft Office 97, contains a spell checker and
dictionaries.
The csapi3t1.dll can be sourced from a number of places, as follows,
'Google' for it on th web
Copy it from the Windows XP or Windows 98 installation disk, etc.
If Microsoft Office 97, or similar is not available, then 'Google' for Free
Spell Check
Downloads from the web.
A Spell Check I have used in the past is OE 2.1.exe from
http://www.geocities.com/vampirefo/
Provided that Outlook Express has the a/m *.dll installed and spelling is
enabled, then OE 2.1.exe will do it's stuff.
Have fun out there
