Outlook Express Spellcheck not working
Complaint: Outlook Express Spellcheck not working, or in wrong language
Cause: Not compatible with Office 2007, no onboard spell check
Fix: (from email to client)
I've looked into this issue; Outlook Express does not have it's own "built in" spell check program, it uses /shares the dictionary from Microsoft Office for spell check abilities. The problem is Microsoft Office 2007's dictionary program is not compatible with Outlook Express; now, it would make sense that they should, being made by the same company (Microsoft) and that they are put on the computer together... but they don't.
There is a solution however. Spell Checker for OE 2.1

I have not used this software myself, however it is recommended from the Outlook Express tech support groups for the (many) users that have run into this issue (you are not the only one!)
-- The client emailed back and stated they were successful with the download and install with no problems.
