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:
 * English
 * Spanish
 * German

These files are replaced with newer versions that are included in the 2007 Office system. The new files are incompatible with Outlook Express.
