Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is
the
simplest way around this.

After installing Office 2007 RTM, you dont have English as a choice of
language in the spell checker of Outlook Express and potentially other
programs.


a.. Office 2007 is replacing the v.3 English Proofing Tools that
shipped
in prior versions of Office with a new version (v.6). There are a
number
of
changes in this new version, but the one that is causing this problem
is
that Outlook Express doesnt understand the new English Proofing Tools.
This
is a problem because Outlook Express has never shipped with its own
proofing
tools but has used the ones shipped by Office.
b.. There are a few scenarios in which you wont run into this
problem:
a.. An upgrade from Office 2003 or earlier to Office 2007 RTM if
you
dont manually uninstall the earlier version of Office.
b.. A configuration in which Office 2003 (or earlier) has not been
removed.
For example, I have Office 2003 still on both of my computers, and
I
still have English in Outlook Express.
c.. The workaround for this problem is to install the English
dictionary
from Office 2003 (or Office XP). There should be no need to install
all
of
Office just the dictionary. The English Proofing Tools can be found in
the
Custom Install tree under Office Shared Features|Proofing
Tools|English.

tool/options/spelling and it is only available in french.
I have had this version of outlook express for over a year and
attended
UOP
with the spell check in english then suddenly in my last class I had
trouble
and found it is stuck in french but not options to use english spell
check. I
checked word 7 and it is in english.
How do I get english option on my outlook express? Do I have to
reinstall
outlook express to get it?


Thank you! This was very helpful for me. You really made my day. HUGS!!

You're welcome.
