How to use Office 2007 Spell Checker for MSN emails

[TomThumb]

When I click on my MSN email spell check icon, I get a message to the effect
that I have to install a spell checker from Office. I have Office 2007, so I
know I am eligible for the installation, but do not know how to do it.

"MSN Hotmail Spell Check No Longer Works with Office 2007":


'
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 MSN doesn't understand the new English Proofing Tools.
This is a problem because MSN was never shipped with its own proofing
tools but has used the ones shipped by Office.

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'."

Good luck,
Steve

The OP is posting with CDO and I doubt that he will find it.


Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the
simplest way around this.

Is there a Microsoft solution to this Microsoft problem?

Hi Tom,

MS Outlook Express is a Windows Internet Explorer product and generally that team would be the solution providers. There position
is pretty much in line with Peter's recommendation as documented in
