MSN email spellcheck doesn't work

[Jason]

Spell check doesn't work in MSN with emails. It says i need to have works or
word installed and i do have works 9 installed. Can anyone help. I am a
horable speller.

Does the 'Works' version include Word ?

Hi Jason,

The spell checker issue will be fixed in the next version of MSN Explorer
provided you are running XP/Vista/Windows 7. I cannot commit to a release
date, but we are in the active development/testing stage.

In the meantime, here are a couple of suggestions:
1) Install the proofing tools from Office 97, Office XP or Office 2003
2) XP/Vista - Install the Digital Image Suite included with your MSN
Subscription by doing the following: (NOTE: THIS IS A 67 MB DOWNLOAD, and not
recommended for installing over a dial-up connection. This install is also
included on the MSN 9.6 CD.)
a) Go to the windows Control Panel
b) Select "Add/Remove Progams" (XP) or "Programs and Featues" (Vista)
c) Run the MSN Installer
d) Select "Install Additional Features"
e) Proceed through the wizard until you get to the Select features to install
f) Select "Microsoft Digital Image Suite, Standard Edition"
g) Complete the wizard.

Thank you,

Berit,
I've got the same problem on my wives computer that we just installed
windows 7 and Office 2007 on this weekend. Do you know if either of these
options will work on Windows 7?

Both of the options Berit provided should work on Windows 7.
