Office 2007 breaks OE's spullchuck.

See:

After installing Office 2007 RTM, you don’t have English as a choice of
language in the spell checker of Outlook Express and potentially other
programs.

Your best option is to get a free spullchucker from one of the following
sites:

ok:
Go into your Windows Mail
Click on the "Tools" menu
drop down and select: options
A new window appears. Select the "Spelling" tab

"Always check spelling before sending: TICK
(the following options are up to you - but i have mine set as follows):

"Words in UPPERCASE: do NOT tick.
I normally tick the remaining 3.
MKAE SURE you have the language set to : ENGLISH

When done: Click "Apply" (first) then click"OK" (on the same screen)

That should do it.
 
Outlook Express is not available in Vista for Office 2007 to break.
'Chuck' your facts.

That's the problem with blog posts from 4 or more months ago.
 
Try selecting a different spelling language, apply, then
select English, apply.

-- I resolved this problem by opening Tools, Spelling, and clicking Apply.
Spelling worked after that. However, i did read in Vista for Dummies that
spellcheck will not work unless you have Office installed. I clicked the
apply aftrer I had already installed office. Microsoft Works also has a
spell check so maybe my solution would work if you have Works.

That is not correct. Unlike Outlook Express, Windows Mail comes with
its own spelling dictionary. I have one Vista computer with no programs
installed on it yet, and Windows Mail spell-check works fine on it.
