MS Office Forum / Word / Spelling and Grammar / October 2007Incompatibility Issue between Office 2007 and MSN/Hotmail Spell Ch
I am running Windows XP SP2 with a Verizon DSL line and MSN Premium browser. I installed Office 2007 early this year. When I subsequently connect with the internet with either the MSN Explorer browser or the Internet Explorer browser and use the email funcitions, I have a spell checker problem. The problem is that I need an english-US spelling dictionary and the email spell checker settings only allow me French (Canada or France). I have literally spent hour on the phone with Verizon and Microsoft and each keeps bouncing me back to the other with no help in solving the problem. Verizon tells me that MSN said there is a compatibility issue with the Office 2007 spell checker and they are working on it. Well, six months seems a long wait for them to correct the problem. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Any suggestions? Your help will be much appreciated. I have a hard time writing emails in english--a french spelling dictionary just drives me up the wall! A known issue. You can reinstall the proofing tools from an earlier version of Office if you have one, or you can install a third-party spellchecking utility (there are many, some free, some not, just ask Google). > I am running Windows XP SP2 with a Verizon DSL line and MSN Premium browser. > I installed Office 2007 early this year.

The only spell checker I have available on is from Word 1997 and I think it might be too old to be compatible with Office 2007. A third-party spell checker is a possibility that I will explore. In any event, don't you think Microsoft is kind of lax for allowing Office 2007 to be published without resolving the incompatibility issue or for not coming out with a fix right away. Also, they should have published something in all their newsletters, etc. about the issue and their plans to fix it. Just a thought. Thanks very much for your help garfield-n-odie [MVP]. > A known issue.

Duwain: I just installed today Office 2007 and ran into the same problem. I verified all language settings in Outlook, Office, and system. Outlook looks to Office's "Dictionary" for its spellcheck feature. I verified that the "English" is working in Word. So, it leads me to believe there is a problem with Office 2007 program - not Outlook. What I plan to do is reinstall Office 2003 and use the features from the older version until Microsoft acknowledges and fixes the problem. Gee, I wish I knew how to do programming.;) > I am running Windows XP SP2 with a Verizon DSL line and MSN Premium browser. > I installed Office 2007 early this year.

I have a hard time writing > emails in english--a french spelling dictionary just drives me up the wall! I ran into the same thing. I tried Dell's help chat and they claimed they were looking into it. But they logged off and never sent an answer. I tried MSN's help and haven't heard back. You'd think it would be addressed in the FAQ's. I would like to know what type recognition they give to the MSN help crew that works so hard to dodge issues of this sort. It can't be a very rewarding job. > I am running Windows XP SP2 with a Verizon DSL line and MSN Premium browser. > I installed Office 2007 early this year.

Hello, Download and install KB935520 (Hotfix Rollup for 2007 Microsoft Office System), and then make sure the MSN Designer Mail is installed on your system. That should do ya for. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C9D0B8CD-3930-4DA4-9089 -CDA06708BD49&displaylang=en > I am running Windows XP SP2 with a Verizon DSL line and MSN Premium browser. > I installed Office 2007 early this year.
