Default Language Set To French

There is a Folder (Spell Checker for OE 2.1) which contains a file
English.exe. Run this file to correct Spelling Check from French to
English. A computer technician corrected this same problem for me in
about 2 minutes.

The Primary Editing Language in Office 2007 is English United Kingdom and

Can anyone give any suggestions?

That is a third party spell check that overrides the spell check from Word.
It doesn't actually correct anything. It does work fine though. I have used
it for years.

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932974

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

Vampirefo Spell Check.

Download it from Major Geeks:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

Or download it from SnapFile:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/spelloe.html

Or you may like TinySpell. (Checks the spelling as you type).

Download it he

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)

same problem with outlook express - after I got my new machine with Office 7.
So good to know that all my attempts to change the language to English were
in vain.

Vampirefo and the others that you cited are either NOT AVAILABLE or NOT

provide English in America where Gates amassed $60BILLION. I dont want to
spend $400 for 2003 Office when I have the crappy 2007 Office that if
uninstalled will void my warranty and the two wont run side by side.

You would need an Office 2003 installation disk.

I have used the free spell check from Vampirefo for years and it works just
fine.

I have Office 2007 on my Toshiba. How can I obtain the "Office Shared
Features/Proofing Tools/English" from Office 2003? Is a download available
for the proofing tools?

Some free spell check programs.

Vampirefo:
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952

TinySpell:
http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type).

Or from this blog:
http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80

After installing Office 2007 RTM, you dont have English as a choice of
language in the spell checker of Outlook Express and potentially other
programs.


a.. Office 2007 is replacing the v.3 English Proofing Tools that
shipped
in prior versions of Office with a new version (v.6). There are a number
of
changes in this new version, but the one that is causing this problem is
that Outlook Express doesn't understand the new English Proofing Tools.
This
is a problem because Outlook Express has never shipped with its own
proofing
tools but has used the ones shipped by Office.
b.. There are a few scenarios in which you won't run into this problem:
a.. An upgrade from Office 2003 or earlier to Office 2007 RTM if you
don't manually uninstall the earlier version of Office.
b.. A configuration in which Office 2003 (or earlier) has not been
removed.
For example, I have Office 2003 still on both of my computers, and I
still have English in Outlook Express.
c.. The workaround for this problem is to install the English
dictionary
from Office 2003 (or Office XP). There should be no need to install all
of
Office just the dictionary. The English Proofing Tools can be found in
the
Custom Install tree under Office Shared Features|Proofing Tools|English.

Oops!

I clicked "Post" too soon!

Here's what I intended to say: Thanks, Bruce!

I followed your choice "C" instructions using the English Dictionary from
Office 2000.

Even with that version, it worked well for me.
