SUMMARY

If you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system, you no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages when you use Outlook Express 6.0.

MORE INFORMATION

When you upgrade an earlier version of Office to a 2007 Office system, the old spelling checker files are removed for the following languages:
