OE uses the dictionary from Word.
Since I never had a need to change it in OE, I can't guarantee if doing so won't
change it in Office apps.
In OE on the Menu bar click Tools > Options > Spelling tab.

Have a look at this..courtesy of 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.

After installing Office 2007 RTM, you don't 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.

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try a free
spell checker instead:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (checks spelling as you type)
You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007

Do you have the latest Office pack (Office 2007)? If so, have a look at
