Did you install the English proofing tools when installing your version of
Office?
In the Office menu in the Start Menu, there is also an Office Tools section
with a link to the Language settings for Office. You can use that to set
your default languages and see which languages are installed.

I went into my options in email to check my settings because my spell
checker
was asking for every word. I found out that it is set to french. When I
pulled down the menu there was nowhere to select English. Is ther a
download
available? Is there a reason why this happened.
