Outlook Express offers only French as the spell check option.

[Duaine]

For some reason, my Outlook Express offers only French as the spell check
option when I hit "Send" on my email. I don't speak French and I like the
spell checker option

Hal, Thank you for the prompt responce. Amazing that there is someone
available so quickly, but no one available to walk a dummy like myself
through the solution. I checked the first Outlook-Tips site which would
probably work if I understood how to get the stuff off my old 2003 CD and
install it per the fairly detailed instructions. Meanwhile I had sent an
Email to "Microsoft Online Customer Service" and received the following free
download link from a Mr. Imran:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952. I simply entered that
address in the Internet Explorer 'To' box, followed the download
instructions, and Presto, OE checked some test misspellings. Now, I do not
know how extensive is their word data base, or if It will accept new
additions to my special dictionary, but it is a start. Thank you again for
your time, hope this will help Duaine. Duaine, the "some reason" you
mentioned is that some programmer who is far more computerwise than I, was so
busy adding new bells and whistles to Office2007 which I will never use that
he/she did not think to maintain the English link to OE.
