Word 2007 spell checker

Is there a way to have Office Word 2007 spell checker as the spell checker
in Internet Explorer 7? Outlook Express is not on my system. I have Windows
Live Mail and Office Outlook 2007 on XP Sp3. When I reinstall Outlook
Express, it always says Address Book is not configured right so I take it
off.

Thank you,
David

[Where to begin?]

IE has never had a spell checker and has never used Office's spell checker.

Windows Live Mail includes its own spell checker.

The Office 2007 spell checker is not compatible with Outlook Express (OE):

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007

That error usually points to the fact that Address Book is configured to
share contacts with Outlook (OL). Such sharing can be disabled but know
that installing any OL update can result in (1) sharing being re-enabled and
(2) OL "hijacking" the default Mail Client functionality away from OE (and
WLMail, for that matter).

Outlook Express can't use the Office 2007 proofing tools, nor does it have
its own.
