Office 2007 uses a new version of the proofing tools that OE cannot
understand, so it is necessary to reinstall an earlier version or some
substitute (third-party add-ins are available). See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2006/20061228.htm for a source similar
to the one where I got my information. See also

Hi Suzanne
I am sorry to argue with you, but I guess your advice is obsolete. In my
system I have removed Outlook 2003 and installed Office 2007 Pro without
Outlook 2007. The language tools in Control Panel bring up Office 2007
and
in Outlook Express I have configured the language exactly as I said in my
previous post. I.e. selected English.
I have Office 2007 Pro Retail ( 81605.902.2099573.65195 multi language
version)
Can you explain the confusion: perhaps because I did formerly have Office
2003?

The Office 2007 proofing tools are not available to Outlook Express,
which
will be relying on the proofing tools from a previous version, so be
sure
that the language is set correctly in that version (e.g., Start |
Programs
|
Microsoft Office | Microsoft Office Tools | Microsoft Office 2003
Language
Settings).

I have installed Office 2007 Pro and do not have this problem. Make
sure
you
have only English selected for Outlook Express, try this:
a.. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then select the Spelling tab.
In
the dialogue box select English only.
