Question: I lost the spell-check feature in English ever since I upgraded to Office 2007 Pro. This was a nice feature I have been using for years. Now, when I use spell-check all my English words are flagged as misspelled and it gives me multiple choices with French words. Spell-check works fine with Word 2007. How can I retrieve the Thesaurus? I am neither ready nor willing to write my messages in French. I tried to change the settings to no avail.I use Windows XP Pro, Outlook Express 6, and Office 2007 Pro.
Thank you very much, or shall I type Merci?
NOCC: My best guess about the cause of your problem is in the default settings in your Word program. When you start a new document in Word, a blank document faces you. Even though there are no words in that document, there are many settings in the master “Normal.dotm” template, which tells Word how your document will look when you start typing.
