Outlook Express Spelling check

[vikingtom]

I have installed a brand-new Win XP Pro SP3 and experience "UNUSUAL"
behaviors.
First- after a few days of use, I was not able to Command Print by any
means(File/Print button/Mouse)--
I reinstalled the whole program - now I can print by normal ways, but
there's a new one:
My email automatic SPELLING CHECK picks about every word and wants to
correct it. I searched and found it is set to FRENCH. My MS XP Disk
alledgedly came from the State of Washington.

I searched and followed all directions to edit my language selection, but so
far have found no way to correct it.

Am I goiung senile, nuts or otherwise?? "Help/F1" gives no clue - I tried
about everything--HELP

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in OE6
after you install Office 2007
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

[More discussion: http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80]

The spell checker in Office 2007 is not compatible with OE6. Try one of
these free spell checkers instead:

Vampirefo's Spell Checker for OE 2.x
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell (checks spelling as you type)
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 an earlier version of Office available as well, see:
