I don't know where the Office 2003 proofing tools are. I was only citing a
blog that has worked for others.

Outlook Express has never come with a spell check of its own and has always
relied on a third party program.

Since OE is on its last legs, no issue that was never addressed before will
certainly not be addressed now.

As I said, I have always used a free spell check, and I know a few people
that like TinySpell so much, they use that even though they have the option
to use the spell check from Word.

Been following this thread since I am having the same problem and just
want
to make sure I understand. I bought Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft
Office
2003, and Office 2007, and the recommendation to this is to either try and
find the dictionary from Office 2003, which on my system is not where
Bruce
said it was or download the a third party spell checker????? You have to
be
kidding me. Where is the support team this is obvious and needs to be
fixed.

Seems I may be wasting my money on MS products.....

I've just installed Office 2007 Home and student Edition on a Windows XP
Home
SP2 PC with latest updates and the Language (Tools-Options-Spelling) in
Outlook Express 6 SP2 has now changed to French. It is not possible to
change
language becasue French is selected but greyed out.

The Primary Editing Language in Office 2007 is English United Kingdom and
English United States is also in the Enabled Editing Languages list.

Can anyone give any suggestions?
