Babs, get me smart-er

[diabetics] I’m gettin’ smart-er
Can you tell me how to get my spell checker enable on my toolbar? Cut, Copy,
Paste, and Spelling are gray. When I drag over something Cut, Copy, are
activated, then Paste is. I don’t know how to get Spelling to work!! I’m
trying to get literate-er. I use Outlook Express/Internet Explorer.

    Hmmm. ya know I’ve been following this.. I use OE too…
    My thing is.. I don’t have a spell check button ON my toolbar. When I want
    to spell check I use the menu choices listed across the top of my Mac. File
    - Edit - View - Message - Format - Tools
    Do you have menu choices or just the buttons?
    Have you tried highlighting all the text first?
    Unless I can simulate your problem, I’ll have a hard time figuring out
    what’s wrong…

    [diabetics] Babs, get me smart-erBabs,
    Nope, highlighting ALL of it does nothing. My toolbar on this post (New
    Mail) goes (2nd line) Send,Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Check (names), ABC
    Spelling, Attach, Priority, Sign, Encrypt, Offline. I cannot get the ABC
    Spelling highlighted to activate. Maybe a lurker is dying to tell us.
    I changed your (this one) post, BTW, to Plain Text. Can you tell me how to
    change my automatic Format setting to Plain Text from Rich Text (HTML). If
    you can tell me that, perhaps you can change yours to Plain Text too. Then
    we would still have the option of HTML when we wanted it. 8^)

    Under format.. I can uncheck Rich Text…
    Have you checked your preferences? Mine are set to check spelling
    automatically before it sends each mail.
