Can anyone please help with this strange problem?

The language settings in Outlook Express 6 are English (UK) throughout yet
under Tools/Spelling/Language is shows only French(France). I cannot find
any way of changing this to English (UK). Consequently, the spell check
operates only in French.

I have also checked all the settings in Internet Explorer 6 but nothing
explains why the spell checker is only French.

Upgrading to IE7 makes absolutely no difference.

John

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Thank you for pointing me towards the correct forum. I did not need to post
anything because as soon as I looked at it I saw that someone else had asked
the same question - and had a helpful reply.

Many thanbks,

John
