English Spell Checker Switched to French!
The spellchecker is somewhere in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft

Yes, in the Proof directory under that. In there, OE uses mssp3en.lex and
msspell3.dll (which are not new), as verified by Process Explorer, but doesn't seem to use any of the others. As an experiment, I even tried temporarily removing all the files in Proof and replacing them with what came with Office 2003 (even though there's no evidence any of the other files are used), but it made no difference.

What if you use regsvr32 to register msspell3.dll ?
So something like Start, Run, "regsvr32 msspell3.dll".

Microsoft Update? Office Update? Yes, so far it seems they haven't put 2007 on the update list yet. I expect this will happen in December. there are no updates but the update site (office update) will check 2007 to see if they are, with 200/2003 installed it does not, it only checks the lower version. kc

Based on the error that comes back, it seems that this particular DLL is not
one that is "self-registerable," which it turns out that some DLLs are not. "Patrick Schmid [MVP]" wrote in message ... What if you use regsvr32 to register msspell3.dll ?
