Thanks Problem: After installing Office 2007, you don't have English as a choice of language in the spell checker of Outlook Express and potentially other programs. Cause and solution: 1. Office 2007 replaces 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. 2. 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. 3. Or you can use third-party software for spell-checking: Vampirefo - http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 TinySpell - http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type). The folks in the Outlook Express newsgroup might have more suggestions for third-party spell-checking software, too. microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!

Why do you insist on making an ass of yourself?

Thanks As Outlook Express is no longer supported and Windows Mail will screw up your defrag, I would recommend using Thunderbird, a free alternative that has a very good spell check and junk mail filter. When you install it, you can import your messages and address book from Outlook Express. Download it from http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird Alias |
