On my netbook, the default dictionary for spelling is French and there are no other options in the drop down menu. How do I change the dictionary to English? |

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. Canned 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 http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ Australian English Spell Check (Also suitable for other English speaking countries.) http://www.justlocal.com.au/clients/oespellcheck/ If you have a previous version of Office, see this: http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2006/20061228.htm -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA "Andrew Mac" wrote in message ... 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.

It is not possible to change language becasue French is selected but greyed out. The Primary Editing Language in Office 2007 is English United Kingdom and English United States is also in the Enabled Editing Languages list. Can anyone give any suggestions?

You're going to pretend to us that you haven't a clue on how to perform an online search, like using Google? Or why any software vendor, including Microsoft, would support a product that was discontinued 8 years ago and dropped support 4 years ago? 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; read http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/932974. You'll need to find a 3rd party spell checker for Outlook Express. Some are free. http://www.google.com/search?q=%2B"outlook+express"+%2Bspellcheck |
