Default Missing Spell Checker - OE 6

I'm picking up this problem after leaving it a few weeks ago.
I'm running Win XP and OE 6. When I want to create a new message, I get
into the New Message screen, and I see the Send line that contains three
icons: Check names, ABC Spelling check, and Attach.

A friend is running ditto using a different ISP (Earthlink) and she says she
cannot see the ABC Spell check icon, the one with the red check mark. She
wants to get this back.

I was told a few weeks ago that this Spell check icon is not a part of OE,
but how can this be when I have it on my Send line, and she does not?

Thanks

Default Missing Spell Checker - OE 6

In Create Mail: View | Toolbars Customize. Add the Spelling button to the
toolbar.

Note that OE 6 does not come with it's own spell check. You need Word or an
MS Office program. The spell checker in Works 4 through 6 will work with OE,
but not other editions. If you do not have such a program, you can download
a free spell check at one of these sites.
