Perhaps it will help.


You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

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

TinySpell:

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:
