As far as I know, spell-check is not included with any operating system.
Office suites and programs like Word and Word Perfect are the usual source,
but there are many freeware and shareware spell checkers also. A Google
search (Spell checker) will find many more like the one below.

You may also be interested in a Program  called Open Office, which is Open
Source (Free) and includes dictionaries for spelling in several languages.

Dell makes excellent computers, by the way.

I just bought a new Dell XP Home and discovered it does not include spell
check.  First of all, I can't imagine ANYONE  selling computers today NOT
including it.  I admit I am anal about my spelling and am somewhat desperate
to include this.  Is there anything short of paying another $600 for Office
I can do to fix this?  Had I been aware it was not included I would have
chosen another brand.
