spell checker
This is my first time in this forum and I've got a complaint. I don't have a
spell checker in OE6 since installing Office '07. The billions of dollars Microsoft receives from consumers, you'd think they would fix a problem instead of telling you to go to a third party.

I am not happy Unhappyness is not a problem anyone here can fix. You either knew about the problem when you installed Office '07 or you failed to do your homework before installing it. The problem will probably not be fixed as MSFT's efforts will be toward Vista and Windows Mail along with Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail spell checks so why not take a look at it? http://morethanmail.spaces.live.com/ Other solutions are to install a spell checker or, better yet, get a newsreader and email client that does spell check, OE is far from the best at either task. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I don't blame you for being irritated. I would be, too.
http://groups.google.com/group/micro...1a5fd25c58cbdf might help get you sorted out. If you have Office 2003 or XP install disks, you can install the English Proofing Tools from them. Otherwise, yeah, it's necessary to download a third-party spellcheck program. (There are a couple of free ones mentioned on the aforementioned link.) -- Echo S [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com What's new in PowerPoint 2007? http://www.echosvoice.com/2007.htm Fixing PowerPoint Annoyances http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/power...noy/index.html PPTLive!

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974 Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this. Some free spell check programs. Vampirefo: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 TinySpell: http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type). Or from this blog: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80 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. -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

You need to do some homework before installing any software, things happen and you need to know about them before making the decision to install or not install a new program. -- XS11E, Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html |
