When you installed Word 2007, did you choose the English language
as default? -- XP - WNP Today is the first day of the rest of your life. "BIGABAZ" wrote: When using spell checker it checks in French!! this only started since installing Word 2007 a few days ago-any suggestions? -- Baz |

... When you installed Word 2007, did you choose the English language as default? Doesn't matter - it's a well-known phenomenon. And given the fact that OE has been made obsolete by Windows Mail and News, the chances of it being fixed are fairly uncertain I would think.... |

news I did install english as default so still no luck -- It's a well-publicised fault - the only two solutions are to a) install the English Proofing tools from Office 2003 if you still have a copy, or b) download and install one of the free third-party spell checkers for OE. |

Hello,
From http://groups.google.com/group/micro...5fcfbb46c3822d [quote Bruce Hagen] Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this. Some free spell check programs. Vampirefo: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 TinySpell: http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type). Or from this blog: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80 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.

If you have an earlier version of Word install its proofing tools. Otherwise try one of these: Free spellchecker. which I use on my laptop, which has Works. http://www.majorgeeks.com/article.php?sid=2952&cat=10A And here's a freeware that checks your spelling as you type: TinySpell http://www.megspace.com/computers/tinyspell/ -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Do not send mail. |
