Hi, this is my first post.

How the heck do I fix my spell checker in outlook express. It now
only has French as a language choice and proceeds to try and correct
properly spelled English words. I tried going into the tools>>
options>> spelling tab, and when I do the only language choice is now
French.

Who knows how to fix this? It was working just fine until 2 or 3 days
days ago

And then you installed Office 2007?
You have two options only I'm afraid.
Either install the English proofing tools from an earlier version of Office
if you have one, or Google for a free OE spellcheck - there are several.

BTW, for future info: This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/list/en-us/default.aspx?dg=micro
soft.public.outlookexpress.general
Good luck!
