Default Spell Check

I just installed Windoes XP Home Edition and my Outlook
Express has no spell check. Can I change this somehow?

Default Spell check

Since the new Office 2k3 has spell checking almost everywhere is there any
hope that it can be used with MSN IM? Or if it can be now how to enable it?

Regards,
John

Greetings John,

Spell checking everywhere in the Office suite -- Messenger is not part of the Office suite
and does *not* have a spell checking feature.

There are some third party utilities to do this however, like:

Yes Jonathan I understand that.... was just sort of thinking since it was
the same company and all it could be an add on or an option if you installed
the office products... silly me.

Thanks for the link,
John

Hi John,

Unfortunately not -- but it looks like (at this point), the next version of Windows will
allow spell-checking in most applications that want to take advantage of it (I assume of
course, Messenger will).

You mean next version like in Longhorn (due in 2005 or something) or do you
mean next version like is SP2 (due in 2004)?

Oh by the way that link you sent, the "MSN Messenger 6" label has a red line
so I guess it is not compatible.

You don't happen to know if there is an SDK for MSN? All I have been able
to find to date on the matter are unsupported attempts to interface with it.

Thanks again,
John

Hi John,

Yes I mean Longhorn and I haven't actually tried it with MSN Messenger 6, but I assume it
doesn't work (since they have stroked out).

There isn't a SDK, but there is some MSDN documentation here (for Windows Messenger):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...nger_entry.asp

There is no (official) documentation on MSN Messenger APIs, although you might find something
here:

Jonathan,

If you are interested this is the response I received from that link you
sent in regards to the spell checker...

Regards,
John

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////

Microsoft Corp. completely changed user interface in MSN Messenger 6.
Unfortunately, they do not provide documentation for this new interface,
called DirectUI. So, our programmers can't handle with it, until appropriate
documentation will be released. When Microsoft Corp. will release
documentation for DirectUI, we try to add support for MSN Messenger 6 to our
spellchecker.

You can try using MS Windows Messenger 5. It has almost the same set of
features as MSN Messenger 6. You can learn more about Windows Messenger at
http://www.microsoft..com/windows/messenger/.

Regards,

Alex parkhomenko
