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.

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.

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. "Mike" wrote: "Don" wrote: Vampirefo and the others that you cited are either NOT AVAILABLE or NOT APPLICABLE. Who wants a registry fix when the problem is MSFT's inability to 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.

How can I obtain the "Office Shared Features/Proofing Tools/English" from Office 2003? Is a download available for the proofing tools? "Bruce Hagen" wrote: Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check.

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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Dell Boy" Dell am wrote in message ...

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. "Bob L" wrote: "Bruce Hagen" wrote: That is a third party spell check that overrides the spell check from Word. It doesn't actually correct anything.
