If it rejects the product key when you enter it, that means that either
the key is not for that product, or you mistyped it. Double check it.

I just tried to load an old Office 2003 on my computer to load the
english
dictionary. It will not allow me to use the product key code. Can you
offer
further assistance? Thanks,
Jane

Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check

Some free spell check programs.

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 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've just installed Office 2007 Home and student Edition on a
Windows XP
Home
SP2 PC with latest updates and the Language
(Tools-Options-Spelling) in
Outlook Express 6 SP2 has now changed to French. It is not possible
to
change
language becasue French is selected but greyed out.

The Primary Editing Language in Office 2007 is English United
Kingdom and
English United States is also in the Enabled Editing Languages
list.

Can anyone give any suggestions?
