How do I change the language in spell check? It is stuck on French and there
are no other language options.

<sigh> this is SUCH a well-documented problem.
Google would have found thousands of hits in micro-seconds.
Either install English proofing tools from a prior version of Office or
google (again) for a free spell check.

And BTW, for future reference:
This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...px?dg=microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!

Outlook Express never came with a spelling checker. It borrowed the
spelling files from Word. However, with Word 2007, Outlook Express
cannot use the English, German, or Spanish spelling files.

Microsoft has confirmed the problem. Read:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/932974

You'll need to find a 3rd party spell checker to use with Outlook
Express. Some are free. Google still works.
