<div class="workaround_section">

WORKAROUND
When you post messages to newsgroups, make sure that you do not have Visual Basic 6 or Access 97 running.

If this behavior occurs, close Outlook Express, Visual Basic, and Access, and then restart Outlook Express. The spelling checker should then work as expected.
