Re: Office 2007 Defects

Thanks Peter -

I actually found the solution to the spell check issue on my own after a
frustrating and useless contact with Microsoft two months ago.

Once again, the tech support people knew nothing about a problem that had
been happening for months. Call me old fashioned, but I think they should be
the experts on their own products...and they need to improve their customer
support.

So...who knows how to fix Picture Manager????

See These:

Known and Documented problems.Hopefully it will be looked at with a Service Pack fix (hopefully)

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

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

Some free spell check programs.

Or from this blog:
http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80

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.


a.. 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 Outlook Express doesn't understand the new English Proofing Tools. This
is a problem because Outlook Express has never shipped with its own proofing
tools but has used the ones shipped by Office.
b.. There are a few scenarios in which you won't run into this problem:
a.. An upgrade from Office 2003 or earlier to Office 2007 RTM if you
don't manually uninstall the earlier version of Office.
b.. A configuration in which Office 2003 (or earlier) has not been
removed.
For example, I have Office 2003 still on both of my computers, and I
still have English in Outlook Express.
c.. 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.

I would like someone from Microsoft to post replies to this board when a
known product defect is discussed. I have encountered two issues in my first
60 days - problems that I see others are having.

1-Outlook Express spell check changed to French when Office 2007 is installed.
2-Picture Manager "Edit" and "Picture" commands stop working because a trial
version of unwanted upgrades has expired.

I would like to see an official posting in these threads acknowledging that
Microsoft is aware of the issue and what we should expect: a link to a free
update to fix the problem; a commitment to provide a solution by a certain
date; or "Sorry Charlie - we aint gonna fix that"

I believe Microsoft should "support" their products for free when the issue
is a defect. I can understand paying for "help" - that's not the issue here.

I would like to request that everyone that sees this thread posts a reply
and please add any other "defects" to the list.

Thank you
