The only way that you can use the spellchecker in OOo (OpenOffice.org)
with Outlook Express is if you write your email in OOo and then copy it into
Outlook Express.
Outlook Express uses the spellchecker of MS Word. If you want to spell
check within Outlook Express, do a web search for a spellchecker. There are
several available for downloading on the web.
