Re: spell check doesn't work

Outlook Express program does not come with a spell checker. It will use
the spell checker from any of several Microsoft 32-bit programs. For
Word/Office, that would be versions 95 through 2003. Version 2007 is
not compatible with OE. For Works, that would be versions 4 through 6.
If using Works 4.0, a registry change is required. The Works 7+ spell
checker is not compatible with Outlook Express. There are also some
freeware/shareware spell checkers that work (see the URL in my
signature).

Office 2007 RTM Issues:
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.

For Office/Word97 on WinXP, this seems to be the common cause:
