If my Outlook is set to check spelling in English why is the message checking in French

[BabyGirlJMA]

Hi,

I read a post from someone else that is having this problem in Outlook
Express but I am having the same problem in regular Outlook (2003,
SP2, part of Office Pro 2003). When I send a message, it offers
spelling suggestions in French AND it won't let me set English as the
dictionary in the spell check box. After I sent my message, I checked
my Outlook options and it is indeed set up to spell check against
English (US). I have never had this problem before. Also when I
selected "New" to send that email, it gave me the dialogue box
"starting Outlook as your default email editor" which is odd
considering that I've used it for several years as my editor. Not sure
if these two things are related but am concerned that it might
indicate some sort of security or virus issue on my laptop.

Any ideas what might be going on?

Have you checked your settings in Control Panel, Regional & Language
Settings? If they are correct, open Word and look at the settings there.
That's where Outlook gets its defaults. Tools, Language, Set Language.

If you type a word with an accent or let auto correct substitute a
word with an accent, <deja vu>, then Office thinks it's French. And
the spellchecker for French will be invoked. To prevent this, don't
gussy up your words. Or, select all, apply language > English.
