![]() "Kcantrell" ... Thanks Bruce the workaround worked for me. Using XP & upgraded to Office 2007, tried your solution and now I can read my spell checker! Ken You may be able to get around this issue with a copy of Office 2003. You can install the Proofing tools from the Office 2003 installation CD and it will restore the spell checking capabilities in Outlook Express. |

Vampirefo and the others that you cited are either NOT AVAILABLE or NOT
APPLICABLE. Who wants a registry fix when the problem is MSFT's inability to provide English in America where Gates amassed $60BILLION. I dont want to spend $400 for 2003 Office when I have the crappy 2007 Office that if uninstalled will void my warranty and the two wont run side by side.

I have no idea why the Vampirefo spell check is unavailable for you. The
link is valid, and the spell check works fine for me. OE never, ever had its own spell check, and you don't need Office 2003 to get a free one. No one else has posted here that they had a problem using a free download. I don't work for MS so I can only surmise that the Office dev team, that has nothing to do with the old OE dev team, was not interested if the spell check worked for an MS product that is no longer being produced. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Don" wrote in message news ![]() Vampirefo and the others that you cited are either NOT AVAILABLE or NOT APPLICABLE.
