Many people are installing Office 2007 and then discovering that their spell check for Outlook Express is set for French. This is fine if you are writing emails in French, but most of us aren't.

Microsoft is aware of the problem and their solution is the upgrade to Windows Vista.

Our solution is do download and install this free spell check program [1].

Another less than elegant solution is to:

  1. Close all programs
  2. Start Microsoft Word 2007
  3. Click the Office Orb
  4. Click Word Options
  5. Click Proofing
  6. Click Custom Dictionaries
  7. Change the spell check language to any other language
  8. Click OK
  9. Click OK
  10. Close Microsoft Word
  11. Reopen MS Word
  12. Click the Office Orb
  13. Click Word Options
  14. Click Proofing
  15. Click Custom Dictionaries
  16. Change the spell check language back to English
  17. Click OK
  18. Click OK
  19. Close Microsoft Word

 

 

If this helped, consider buying me a beer or an Americano! [2]
