MSN Hotmail Spell Check No Longer Works with Office 2007

[Angie]

After installing MS Office '07 and Vista, my MSN Mail spell checker no longer
works. The error reads that I do not have a dictionary installed for the
select launguage.You need to install a spellchecker available with
installations of Microsoft Office and Microsoft Works in order to use the
spell checking feature.

I went to your down loads site hoping for help and got this reply...
The Office Update service is currently not supported on Microsoft Windows
Vista. You can, however, get Office updates for Office XP, Office 2003, and
the 2007 Office system by opting into the Microsoft Update service.

Can anyone help?

Given that MSN is an entirely different functional section of Microsoft than
is the MS Office section, what does MSN Technical Support have to say about
this MSN issue?

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'.

Thanks for the explanation.
