Office 2007 - no spellcheck available.

Fresh install of Office 2007.


On a fresh and existing instance of MS Office 2007 when I try to do spellchecker, it tells me there's no proofing tools installed for English(united stated) installed.

I've downloaded the proofing tools installer and still get the same error.

Tried everything found here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/970826

Registry entry does not exist.
No disabled Add-Ins.
no spellchecker found...

Any ideas on how to get it back?

Did you try a repair install?

Did you try the fix it for me? halfway through? Also have you done all the updates for 2007?

All updates installed.
Tried the fixit, which is just a registry repair.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled and even formatted the HDD and reinsalled win7 and Office07 and still the same exists.

If you have reinstalled windows and office then there is something wrong with the office installer. Does someone have a spare disk you can borrow?

While I tend to agree with you, you can google this problem and find hundreds of people having the exact same issue.

I don't have another 07 installation to use...

Possibly stupid question but Is this the bit-torrent or retail version?

Honestly that's what I was thinking might be part of the problem also.

it's a retail installation of office. I have 5 keys from a promo sale.
