Oh, gotcha now. I thought your first post was just a statement that Word
basically has nothing to do with OE. Now I understand, thanks a lot

But the point is that Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. The easiest way
around it is to use one of the free ones.

This is from a previous post as a way to fix it.

I fixed my OE spell check which defaulted to French due to OE's
incompatibility
with Office 2007 spell check program. What I did was install Office 2007
without the Proofing tools. When you start the installation you click on
a
custom install. I clicked on run all items from my computer, then I went
down to the shared tools and unchecked installing the proofing tools.
Even
the French I unchecked. Once the install was done, I checked OE and it
somehow still defaulted to French. I then took my Office 2003 and
installed
only the Proofing tools. Once that was done, I went back into OE and all
the
languages were listed. It is working perfect and I did no have to install
any other spell check to work with OE like Tiny Spell. I hope this works
for
everyone.

Those are your choices, other than removing Office 2007.

Hi Bruce,

I only mentioned Office because it was the only 'new' activity in the
past week.

This problem is in Outlook Express, it has recently decided I am French
and I would like advice on how to remind that my language is English
(U.S.)

I've never used Office or Outlook myself. There is, I believe, a
workaround
by installing the proofing tools for the 2003 version, but I couldn't
tell
you how to do it.

I've never had anything but a free spell check myself, and I know of one
OE
MVP that was using the spell check from MS Word, and opted to use Tiny
Spell
instead. Likes it better.

Hi Bruce,

Wow, thanks for the rapid response. I would like OE to behave as it
did, spell check in English. Any ideas why it would have changed to
French and how I could just go back?

Office 2007 does not support Spell Check in OE. You can download a
freeware
spell check which will work fine.

Hi All,

For no apparent reason, my spellcheck in OE has switched to French.
The only 'new' feature I can report is that I have installed Office
2007 which isn't linked to OE as far as I know. On the off chance, I
did check the language settings for Office 2007 and it shows English
(U.S.) and no other languages are enabled.

Any ideas? It is amusing but I rely on the spellchecker so it would be
nice if it stopped recommending faculte' for faculty
