You have to install the proofing tools for a previous version of Office.
Office 2007 does not support spell checking in OE, it seems.

I have installed office 7 and IE7 and when I now run spell checker in OE6 I
find the default language is French and there are no other options in the
drop down menu.
How can I get the UK English standard dictionary back?
I have UK English installed in Office 2007 but this doesn't seem to
connect
to OE6.
