I'd love for someone to dig deep down and tell us the files *which OE
actually uses for spell checking* that Office 2007 has updated. In my
testing, it only uses the two files I've mentioned previously, and they
haven't been updated. Until someone can tell me specifically which files
we're talking about here, I'm considering this a Registry-only issue.

Unfortunately, the MS Windows folks, who do the development and
updating
for Outlook Express, have not, at this point, done any
updating to support using the Office 2007 proofing tools with Outlook
Express as they're primarily focused on their new Windows
versions, which has a different mail/news client than Outlook Express.
A custom install of any feature of Office 2003 installs the core files
for
Office 2003 (so you're likely to also get prompted to
install all of the 2003 Service Packs and updates).
There are 3rd party proofing tools available for Outlook Express.
If you're using Outlook express for email with Office 2007 rather than
for
newsgroups, you can edit in Word 2007 and proof then copy
and paste , or if you want to send the Word document you can add the
'Send
to Email Recipient' command to your Word 2007 Quick
Access Toolbar (QAT) to bring up the 'Addressing Envelope' when you're
ready to send out your document. To add it to the QAT:
(Alt, T, O, C, Alt+C, C, Enter, Tab, T, scroll up)
==============
That's Her, there seams to be a glitch in the system.
also you mentioned (elsewhere i believe it was) you ran a PC with both
2003
and 2007 full versions, i tried that as well and the update site only
recognized the 2003 installation when checking for updates.
the worst part of this whole ordeal was when i tried to uninstall 2007
i
got
an error about some file was missing and i didn't have administrator
rights
to the registry (which i most certainly do) and it 'rolled back' the
installation but then any time i opened IE7 i got an 'updating' box
that
again came up with that same error finding a file and that i didn't
have
administrator privileges. i spent the better part of yesterday
installing
and uninstalling both versions of office trying to fix this and ended
up
formatting the dang harddrive and loading everything all over
again......three times !!! trying to solve this screwed up issue.
the total size of the proofing installation from 2000 is 25 meg, there
should be some simple download fix that doesn't require the
installation
of
the older version to get an English spell checking option.
