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.

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
