ZOMGG Spelling dictionary in OE got screwed after off 2007 install

[PowerUser]

OK I'm in deep trouble- I use OE for mail. I had Office 2003 previously
installed and OE was using Office's spelling dictionary. Then I uninstalled
Office 2003 and installed Office 2007. OE is now using an absurd Fench
dictionary, and is prompting me for all words! OMG!
I checked the settings in OE and there are no other dictionaries in the drop
down box available! What do I do? Please!!

See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=932974 "You no longer have spell
checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook Express 6.0 after you
install the 2007 Microsoft Office system". In brief, 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).
