Since the Home & Student edition of Office 2007 does not include Outlook,
you'll need to identify WHAT you use as your e-mail client.

[Crosspost to OE General]

As that version of Office 2007 doesn't include Outlook, we'll assume you're
using Outlook Express as your default Mail Client.

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try one of
these free spell checkers instead:

Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell (checks spelling as you type)
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/

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

If you have an earlier version of Office available as well, see:

<snip - remainder of post based on guess of which e-mail client used by OP>

Original newsgroups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
Added newsgroups: microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Effector/Respondent: PA Bear

This is to warn that Effector has copied [only their subthread of] an
existing discussion to other groups by cross-posting their reply to groups
not originally specified by the OP (original post[er]). There may be
additional replies back under the original post in its original group(s)
than just those shown under the subthread for the Effector's cross-posted
reply. If the OP and others wish to ensure that they see ALL replies then
they must visit the original groups to check if there are subthreads *other*
than under the Effector's reply.

The Effector is getting worse in his trollish behavior. Now he's moving
posts around based on guesses and biased to his favorite newsgroup(s). He
can't even afford to wait for a reply from the OP before deciding which
group he thinks is more appropriate (and shove the OP over there rather than
suggesting a change in venue).


<rant_start>
If the OP wishes to move or copy their discussion to another group, that
should be *their* choice and not as an UNSOLICITED action enforced by
another *user*. Despite his pretense, the Effector is not a moderator or
admin but just another user who is propagating the OP's discussion to
different group(s) that he has divined are more appropriate and to enlarge
the audience or hopefully provide a more focused community on the topic but
which may not be a correct action (since the source of the problem may not
be relevant to those other groups simply based on where the OP reported the
symptoms). If the OP wants to move or copy their discussion to another
group, that should be THEIR choice and not of the Respondent. The
Respondent should only recommend to the OP that there may be more
appropriate or useful groups to which the OP should repost or cross-post
their message, not enforce the propagation of the OP's discussion to other
groups.

There are times when the Newsgroups header should be modified to a different
set of groups than was originally specified by the user. Examples are:
using a *.test group to redirect negative or expository replies into the bit
bucket (common with spammers or trolls); removal of completely unrelated
groups (i.e., the OP cross-posted to invalid groups), an attempt to flame a
smaller community or low-bandwidth group with a rash of replies from other
groups (i.e., an intentional attempt to vengefully or maliciously flood
forward into other groups), inclusion of *.kook or other groups with the
intention to flame the other groups with the inflamed responses (i.e.,
attempt to flood backward into other groups), responding to a spam exhibit
or announcements but discussions about them belong in another group, and so
on. A misguided need to enlarge exposure for a discussion based on a choice
made by the Respondent is not an adequate reason to alter the Newsgroups
header.

Recommend the OP should move. Do not SHOVE them over. It should be the
OP's choice in what communities to focus on their post, not a forced change
made by the Respondent.
