Re-associate Spell Checker with Word 2000

How do I re-associate the Spell Checker in OE6 with my Word 2000? I had installed Works 2000 in order to help my clients online with their problems and have now uninstalled Works. However, now when I try to send an email, the Works installer comes up and asks me to insert the Works2000 install disk. Thanking you in advance for the help I KNOW will be forth coming. Pops

 

You have to keep Word installed..

 

I do have Word installed and always have. This happened after I had installed Works2000 and then uninstalled it. It seems that somehow OE has associated the spell checking function with Works and did not revert back to Word.

 

I would repair IE since OE is integrated with it. Do it through control panel, add/remove programs. I would also "detect and repair" Word, its in the help menu when you open Word.

 

Bingo......I tried to repair IE6 and that failed to fix the problem. I then did a "detect and repair" (which by the way took forever) in Word2000 and that did the trick. Thank you Gentlemen and thank you aleekat.......Pops

 

Glad you got it fixed. Thanks for posting back.
