I have the same problem, but I lost my hard drive before I could fix it.

I know its to do with Word 2007, and I do have my original Office 2003 copy.

I believe that there are some files which can be copied from Office 2003 to
allow English spellchecking.

Could someone please let me know which ones they are?

Thanks

Outlook Express never came with a spelling checker, It borrowed the
spelling files from Word. However, with Word 2007, Outlook Express
cannot use the English, German, or Spanish spelling files.

Microsoft has confirmed the problem. Read:
