Default cannot use print function or spell check

Hi. Having trouble with my print and spell check features. They are chosen
to be on the toolbar but are grayed out. The keyboard functions do not work
either. I looked for a solution but did not find the subject. Any help
would be appreciated.

OE does not come with a spelling checker. It uses the spelling checker from
any Office program that has one. Do you have such a program?

If not you could try one of these:

Free spellchecker.
which I use on my laptop, which has Works.

$15 shareware
http://www.spellchecker.com/

And here's a freeware that checks your spelling as you type:
TinySpell

I use this one.
