Outlook 2007 changed spelling of Outlook Express
Office 2007 ships with a newer version of the Office spell checking
support than Outlook Express can handle. That's the explanation... When you upgrade to 2007, Office 2007 dutifully upgrades the spell checkers to the new version too (seems to affect the English ones only though). See my RTM issues page for a workaround.

Outlook 2007 Changed Spelling Of Outlook Express
So, this is part of the process of obsolescing Outlook Express -- right?

Outlook 2007 Changed Spelling Of Outlook Express

Express is owned by the Windows group (succeeded by Windows Mail and News in Vista) and Outlook is owned by the Office group. They sometimes don't communicate the greatest with each other...

Outlook 2007 changed spelling of Outlook Express
This still does not answer my question.
In an all English install of Windows XP, Office, IE etc ... Why, after doing a clean install of Office 2007 does the dictionary for Outlook Express become French and no ability to select another one ???

Outlook 2007 changed spelling of Outlook Express
Because 2007 removed the English dictionary when you installed it and
the French dictionary remained (North American copies of Office ship with English & French for sure, and I think Spanish as well). Explanation: 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. * 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. * There are a few scenarios in which you won't run into this problem: o An upgrade from Office 2003 or earlier to Office 2007 RTM if you don't manually uninstall the earlier version of Office. o 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. * 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'.
