Oui, c'est facile

Easy work-around
Type your text as usual. Then select and copy it, paste into Google
translator. Translate to French, then spell check. Translate back to
English and print.

Or hire a cute little French maid to help you.

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

This phenomenon has been around since Office 2007 first came out. You really
should keep up.

"Live" doesn't have anything to do with it. Outlook (or OE) uses the spell
checker provided with Word. 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.

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.

No, I'm saying MS-Word doesn't COME with an English language spell-checker.

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.

When Steve provides more details about his problem, we'll know if this
really is his problem.

Well, there's certainly a choice of spell-checking back ends under Linux,
and different apps can be configured to use different ones - so yes,
quoting the exact configuration is important. Windows is doubtless less
flexible, but the OP didn't originally say that they were using Windows
(they presumably have now, given the number of posts about Office 2007!)

.... which reminds me, I really must fix spell-checking in Openoffice; it
broke in an upgrade about 6 months ago and I've not got around to
fixing it yet :-)

I assumed he was talking about the machine we was posting from, which
claimed:

I googled French language Microsoft OE fix, and got all kinds of stuff.
Seems like Microsoft is aware of the problem. I uninstalled '07 and
reinstalled '00, and it works fine now. I only use Word off that program
anyway.

It's not a Microsoft PROBLEM. Eliminating the English spell-checker was
intentional, therefore it is a FEATURE.

No charge.

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".

Because I am on a campaign to simplify my life.

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!)

I sell copies of Office 2000 to anyone who wants it, for $20.00. :-) Works
like a charm, no spell check problems.

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?

Don't use those abominations. Learn to spell. Spell checkers are
limited in their ability to analyze and respond.
