    Using Proofing Tools in an Office 2003 under Outlook 2007 Environment

    At our office we are trying to upgrade to Outlook 2007. Rightnow we are using Office 2003. After installing Outlook on one pc we around that it is able to detect the proofing tools of Office 2003. But will this remain common for all. That means it should be working for every pc. I hope the new outlook will be able to recognize the proofing tools which are current installed on my system. Later on once upgrades are proper I can simply switch to Office 2007 Proofing tools.

    re: Using Proofing Tools in an Office 2003 under Outlook 2007 Environment

    I will recommend you to use proofing tools of Office 2007 only. Try to install the complete pack and there will be minimum flaws. Because there can be some compatibility bugs if you are using it on the older platform while newer gives you much more benefits. You can use different languages and work on it. I had seen that some languages are not compatible with each other but easy to fix on the new version. Relying on old edition is not going to help you much.

    Do you get any option to choose the proofing tools among 2003 and 2007 version. Well I think it is not complicated to work on mixed environment. There will be no issue unless everything is kept on the same computer. There can be issue if you are trying to operate stuff through lan.

    We have recently rolled out Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2007 to replace Notes. We picked up that the "check spelling as you type" feature does not seem to work with Office 2003 and Outlook 2007. Most of our Office 2003 installations didn't include Outlook 2003 so Outlook 2007 was a "clean install". On the ones that had Outlook 2003 we removed it as part of the Outlook 2007 installation.

    We have tried a lot of fixes but can't seem to get the "check spelling as you type" feature to work. It works if you upgrade the entire Office installation to 2007 but not with Outlook 2007 and the rest on 2003. OS is XP.

    Did you pick up on this as part of your testing?

    The answer that I needed was at the bottom of page 9 :-)

    We have really had a great experience with the project. There are a couple of small issues that we have ironed out but this one required more digging! Thank you for the answer!
