You only have proof-reading tools in OE if you have one or more Microsoft
Office programs installed. Windows and OE by themselves don't come with
spell-checkers.

I installed something called 'works' and was able to use spell checker on
that, but it didn't trasfer over to emails. As you can probably tell, I'm
not a computer expert. What is a third party proof reader, please?
I've never had a laptop before, so I don't know if the 'tools/options' on
all lap tops don't have the spelling folder. I can't figure out why they
would leave it out.

It depends which version. 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.
