spell check

[Terri]

I can't get the spell check to work in outlook express. It worked fine until
my son upgraded the word program to 07. Does anyone have any suggestions for
me?

Well documented. A Google search would have given you an instant solution.
Either install the English Proofing tools from a prior version of Office (if
you have one) or download a free spell checker. Google again - there are
several.
BTW, for future reference:
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!

Outlook Express never came with a spelling checker, It borrowed the
spelling files from Word. However, with Word 2007, Outlook Express
cannot use the English, German, or Spanish spelling files.

Microsoft has confirmed the problem. Read:

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:

Outlook Express cannot use the MS Word spell check in Office 2007.
Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this.
