OE spell check in French - clean install of XP with clean install of Office 2007
I've seen this before, but it was always an upgrade of Office 2003 to Office 2007. This is a clean install of XP with a clean install of Office 2007. Now spell check is in French. What I've found Googling recommends installing a third party spell checker for OE.
My question is what's the best, most complete, easiest to use spell check that doesn't include malware or nags.
The user prefers OE & doesn't want to switch email clients, so that's not an option.
I'd like real world experiences, if anyone has used a particular spell check.
Thanks

After extensive testing & analysis, I found that the freebie program “Spell Checker For OE” simply enables English as the default language for spell checking & places the original file for English spell checking in the folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof". This file (csapi3t1.dll) is the same file from Office 2003. It also places CUSTOM.DIC & uninstal.exe files in the same folder.
I had been critical of Spell Checker For OE, as it didn’t enable spell checking of the subject line. It turns out that Outlook Express natively does not check spelling in the subject line of a message. Because Spell Checker For OE works through Outlook Express, it will also only check the text in the body of the message. In-other-words, this limitation is in OE, not the third party application.
If you download & install this utility, you’ll be right where you would be if you had Outlook Express & Office 2003.
I tested just placing csapi3t1.dll in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof" as shown on the page linked, but this did not allow the selection of English in OE, so the program does something to enable this.
Issue is resolved.
