Spell check language in Outlook Express

C

chmoore

Up until a few weeks ago, I had XP Home running very well as well as OE's
spell checker. Then I made a horriblle mistake; I let Microsoft update XP
and other programs. Now OE spell checks in French only.

How do I put it back to English?

I have read some help suggestions but I always seem to wind up going down a
blind alley. All of the language and spell checks in Office work fine. The
"helps" say I must change the assignmnet in XP. How?

Suggestions please!!!!

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in
Outlook Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

Outlook Express cannot use the MS Word spell check in Office 2007.
Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this.

Vampirefo Spell Check.

Download it from Major Geeks:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

Or download it from SnapFile:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/spelloe.html

Or you may like TinySpell. (Checks the spelling as you type).

Download it here:
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)
http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:

Thank you for the reply, but I don't think that is quite the problem.

Yes, I have office 2007 and this problem started when I installed it. Spell
checking is working OK in OE but it uses a French dictionary. I want to
direct it to an English dictionary.

And that is what my reply addressed. Once you install Outlook 2007, a
French dictionary is the only spell check option available in Outlook
Express. Please re-read my post. The solutions are there.

Thanks. I did read your post and will follow up on it.

It just seems very strange that a comany located in Redmond Washington
(where the predominant language is English) would let this go like this.

Oh, well!

Thanks again

All production of Outlook Express ended in June, 2006. With the OE
development team disbanded to work on Windows Live Mail, there was no one
to even think of making Outlook 2007 compatible with OE.

Suit yourself. I have never had any Office programs installed on any of my
computers and have used the Vampirefo spell check for years, and it works
just fine.
