English Dictionary for MSN premium Internet/email

[JTW]

I recently installed Office 2007 and Windows Vista. Now I do not have a
functioning spell checker for English dictionary (U.S.) in my MSN Premium
Hotmail email. How do I find and install an English dictionary (U.S.) that
will be recognized and used by MSN Premium Hotmail.com?

There is a Knowledge Base article on this. Office Support recommends
installing any of several free spell checkers available on the web. Google
"free spell checker". There has been some discussion of this well known
problem in groups microsoft.public.msn.discussion and
microsoft.public.windows.live.mail.desktop. It has been said that you can
install the proofing tools from Office 2003, if you would prefer a
Microsoft-only solution. If you try this I would recommend creating a
System Restore restore point first. I tried it myself and had some
problems.
