Having been down this road way back (years) I registered & installed
Tinyspell & I have to say it's not really the ideal option. It's interface
is annoying but the real problem is it's extremely small word list is
totally inadequate. Sure you can "add" words but more than a year on I'm
still doing this. It has no real or place names as an example. The Office
2003 spell checker was fantastic in comparison (whilst it worked)!

The other option of installing the 2003 "proofing tools" was problematic in
that it installs something like 180Mb over time just to get the spell check
as it seems to download all updates for 2003 (hence the size). Also if your
copy of 2003 isn't legitimate then you can no longer install it (the work
around or product keys won't work)!!!

End result is there is no easy fix, possibly the best option is to move on &
use Outlook 2007, not something I have done yet but am considering!
