You have to start it. You can put a shortcut to it in your Startup folder
and it will be there ready for you in any program. Then turn off OE's
spelling check.

Dear Frank and Bruce,
Thank you both so much for trying to help me. I have been working on all
your advice ALL afternoon, and I came up with a great solution.......
I have ditched 2007 and just reloaded 2003. To be honest I was always
disappointed with 2007 it certainly was not as friendly as 2003.
Anyway I really appreciate your time
Thanks again
Lee

Thanks Bruce the workaround worked for me. Using XP & upgraded to Office
2007, tried your solution and now I can read my spell checker!

Installing the English dictionary from Office XP fixed my problem with OE
having only the French dictionary. Thanks,

I have Office 2007 on my Toshiba. How can I obtain the "Office Shared
Features/Proofing Tools/English" from Office 2003? Is a download available
for the proofing tools?

You would need an Office 2003 installation disk.

I have used the free spell check from Vampirefo for years and it works just
fine.

> 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.
