O.K., Thanks.

First, if I mentioned OL97, I was in Error. I meant to say Outlook XP.

Where I am is that I was able to completely install Office XP, including
Outlook.
I first had to edit the registry and delete all references Outlook in Office
10 and Office 12.

I did see that the proofing tools at least for English are on my
installation disc. But they are in the Office 12 folder, and the install dose
not allow one to drill down. Apparently, one needs to save out the proofing
tools, what ever has been included, with the files AS FOLDERS.

I have not tried to do that yet, because, frankly, Office XP is fine for my
needs. In my other machines, where I have Offcie 2007, I save in the 97-2003
mode anyway.

I did not remove anything from the registry that was not necessary for me to
get Office XP going.

Should I find a reason to re-install Office 2007, I will spend the endless
time to first remove any trace of Office 2007 (Office 12) first.

I found the proofing tools for Office 2007. They are ,rar files. I
put them in their own folder on the C drive. Rar files are
compressed. When I tried to install Office 2007, and went to the
folder location, Office 2007 still refused them. Because they are
compressed? Do I need to unzip them? I have a .rar tool.

I think you're on your own and should experiment as you see fit. Normally,
everything you need to install an Office application will be on the install
disk and I've never experienced the proofing tools being missing.
