Obviously facetious answer but in fact trying to work with Word or where ever in MS you need to do this, your solution is probably quicker ![]() |

With Word 2007 and beyond (Office for XP, etc.), the only spell checker is the French one (Legal reasons to allow Office to be sold in France). If you want a spell-checker, there are ways... Google is not necessarily your friend, but may be in this one instance. |

You're saying there IS no English spell checker for Word 2007, purchased and installed in the USA? No, dopey. The problem is that the upgrade install of Office 2007 replaces the old spell check libraries for English, French and German, with new ones that are incompatible with Outlook. I don't think that is SteveB's problem at all. Steve's problem is that he can't name the software he's referring to. Either that or my news server has missed an important message from him. |

This deficiency, however, is a tempest-in-a-teapot for us. Posters on this group are erudite and accomplished. The occasional misspelling is, without question, due to a typographical error, not ignorance. |

Why didn't you simply install one of about 200 free spell-checkers? I use TinySpell and it spell-checks everything (Notepad, file-names, Word, Outlook, Excel, everything.). Admittedly, it sometimes gets in the way when programming. For example, it fusses when I use WAtermelon-U-8-1-2-Green to represent "Net Pay This Period". |

According to Bergen record news paper, and I "Quote" You are not alone.
This problem affects all who continue to use Outlook Express after installing Office 2007, which uses language modules that are incompatible with the aging e-mail program. It is possible to solved the problem with down loading Windows live E-Mail. (By the way which I do not like!) "HeyBub" wrote in message ...

Je ne croient que personne n'a signaler encore une réponse à ceci en
Français. Il serait très drôle. Est-ce qu'en outre, pourquoi personne n'a indiqué l'affiche que c'est l'endroit faux pour sa question? |
