Language Setting

[Don]

I recently installed Windows XP on my computer, together with the associated
programs Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I notice when I use the spell
checker in Outlook Express, it wants to correct words to French. I went to
Tools/Options and then selected the Spelling tab. However, in the Language
section, the only language available to me is French. What must I do to
change this to English (United States)?

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

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