Office 2007 was created to be Vista compatible only, so your choices are

Thanks. I did upgrade from Office 2003 without manually uninstalling
office 2003, but I have the problem anyway. Do you know if there a new
version of outlook express on the way that will be compatible?
Also, why does the French spell checker still work?
Thanks again.

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

After installing Office 2007 RTM, you don't 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 doesn't 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 won't run into this
problem:
a.. An upgrade from Office 2003 or earlier to Office 2007 RTM if
you
don't 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.

I have a similar problem. I just upgraded to MS Office 2007 and now
my
outlook express is spell checking in French. When I go to outlook
options
Spelling it says French in the selected language in the pull down
list.
There is no English option there to select.
I checked the language selection for the Word 2007 and it is in
English,
so I have no idea what happened.
Do you think it would work for me to delete the CSAPI3T1.DLL and
reinstall it?

I have been using OE 6 for ages and used to have the 'Spelling' tab
visible, used to check all my Emails before send for 'typos' etc.
Over the last few months the 'Spelling' tab has become 'greyed' out,
not able to use it. I have been informed that it's dependent on MS
Word
being available as the text program, I have never had MS Word, but
always 'Open Office' now Version 2.0 that has the capability to save
as
as .doc file.
Does anyone know of why this function has recently disappeared or
how
to get it back again?
I have looked in the 'Tools, Options' but cannot see anything?
Kind Regards

I am using a new computer loaded with MSOffice Home&Student 2007. It
doesNOT support the English language in its spell check which Outlook
Express uses. You must try another download to fix. Any hints?
Danny
try one of these:
Free spellchecker.
which I use on my laptop, which has Works.
