OE spell checker

I'm doing a fresh install and don't have easy access to my old links or PCM Forum notes. I and others have posted links to good and free spell checkers for Outlook Express. Anyone have any links to a spell checker?

Thanks!

Why would you need an external spell checker when OE has a built in SpellCheck that uses the same dictionaries as Office?

Tools>Options>Spelling.

If you use your favorite search engine, your find tons. Here's a list that's a little old but...

There are 3rd party spell checkers that are compatible with OE also.

Thanks for the links, EzyStvy! Ya, the free ones are old (one was for Win 3.1) but the ones that cost seem pretty new.

Any ideas on newer ones that are free?

Thanks for those and the XP links!
