spellcheck windows vista email

[ASCCANZ]

When I try to spell check outgoing email, a message pops up saying the "This
language is no longer available for spell checking. Please select another in
the spelling options dialog box." Since I'm writing in English and its the
only language I speak fluently, I seem to be out of options. I'm also a
terrible speller, so really need the spell check.

Thanks.

John,

Many thanks for the useful post. It went directly to the heart of the
problem and gave me a very easy fix.

Is the spell checker enabled? See this link from my website:
http://vistasupport.mvps.org/enabling_spellchecker_in_windows_mail.htm

If spell checker is enabled, then try changing the language. You should
already have it set to English, but change it to, say French and then back
to English again.

I am having the same problem. I did go to "tools" and re-set the language to
English. However, now instead of getting the message saying the language is
not available, it is not detecting misspelled words and it says that spell
check is completed. What should I do?

Thanks for your help.

Did you accidentally add misspelled words to the custom dictionary?
If so, you can edit the custom dictionary manually:

or you can use this add-on:

outgoing messages.

So did you try the solution you quoted (from John Barnett MVP)?

I used your instructions as I had a problem with the spellcheck and they were
so easy and now my emails will be checked for errors

Thank you
