Default language changed after Office 2007 installation
I'm using Windows XP and just installed Office 2007. Immediately after
installation, the default spell-check language in Outlook Express has been changed to French. Under Tools, Options, Spelling, Language option, I now only have French as an option. The default language in all of my Office apps is set to English. Why did it remove English from Outlook Express and how can I re-enable it?

Default language changed after Office 2007 installation
Hi James,
Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer. The IE team chose not to update Outlook Express to be able to use the new English language proofing tools introduced in Office 2007. There are a couple of 3rd party tools you can add (that folks who don't have Office installed have used for a number of years g) including A. Vampirefo Spellchecker for Outlook Express: http://geocities.com/vampirefo/ B. Tinyspell: (has separate U.K. English module if needed) http://tinyspell.m6.net ============= "James" wrote in message ... I'm using Windows XP and just installed Office 2007.

Default language changed after Office 2007 installation
Bob,
Thanks for the prompt reply. So just to make sure I understand this, installing Microsoft's Office 2007 purposefully broke Microsoft's Outlook Express? I find it a little hard to believe that one team will completely blow away another team's fundamental spell check capability and then require users to use 3rd party products for something as simple as spell check. I can understand not being able to use Office 2007's more advanced spell and grammar check.... but completely breaking basic spell check? Did I really interpret your response correctly? Does this issue need to be redirected to the Internet Explorer team so they can repair Outlook Express? Thanks! "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi James, Outlook Express is part of Internet Explorer.

Hi James,
It's a little different than what you said. Outlook Express has never had its own Proofing tools it was setup to piggy back on to those proofing tools in Office when Office was installed. The IE product team was aware of new Office proofing tools and has not updated Outlook Express to use the new tools http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974/en-us?FR=1 Whether it's a small or big task to make that work in Outlook Express I can't say, but there are alternate solutions available. ================= "James" wrote in message ...

Just to add to Bob's answer which is correct . If you have the Office 2003 Proofing Tools and you install it then the
default spell check language(English) will be back in Office 2007 -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged.

I believe you meant to say, "the default spell check language (English) will
be back in Outlook Express" rather than "Office 2007". :-) To clarify, Office 2007 will still use Office 2007 Proofing Tools and Outlook Express will use the Proofing Tools from Office 2003. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx "Peter Foldes" wrote in message ...
