Microsoft needs to hire a team of "challenged computer operators" like us
average people. They would quickly learn that their instructions and
expectations for their average computer users ARE NOT UNDERSTANDABLE AND
USEABLE.
Come on guys, unless I've been in a coma for the past ten years and missed
a
major change in our country, ENGLISH is still our primary language, and
therefore should still be available !!

I don't know why people expect that a computer should be as easy
to operate as a toaster. Every specialty has its own terminology.
If the terminology mystifies you, take a beginner's PC course at
your local community college. Many organizations also offer free
computer lessons.

In the main screen of Windows Mail, (NOT the compose screen), go to
Tools, Options, Spelling.
First select another language, click Apply. Then reselect English and click OK.

Please, it would help for people to add a blank line or two between the
quoted text and their reply.

I went to the main window in Windows Mail and pressed the "alt key" and the
"t key" (for tools) but nothing happened. When I went to the main window in
Windows Mail, I made sure that my folders were closed as this would have been
outside of the main window in Windows Mail (at least that is what I figured).
Please let me know what I am doing wrong because I am determined to get to
the spell check options and follow what I've read on these community posts.
Thank you very much!

Try doing it the way that stilwant2 described, using the mouse instead of
the keyboard.

Not sure why you are closing folders (whatever that means).
The main window is the one you see when Windows Mail opens,
before you have clicked on anything inside Windows Mail. You should
see a menu bar with File, Edit, View, Tools, Message, Help.

Well well well! I thank you all so very much. I found out that I had to
maximize the window in order to get to the menus and when I did that I was
able to access the spell checker. I was so happy I purposely mispelled a few
words so I could do lmy spell check!
