I beg to differ, Mary, but the same thing happened to me when I installed
Office 2007. When I started OExpress, the spell checker was in French, so I
checked my language region settings in Windows XP & guess what? It was still
set to English. So I decided that since the problem started with Office 2007,
I would see what the spell language was set on. The Office 2007 was set for
French, so I changed it to English and all of my Office 2007 programs
accepted the change and checks my spelling in English, but my Outlook Express
still tries to check in French. There is no way to change the language from
within OE Express. I am still searching for a fix since I use OE for the
speed and simplicity that it provides.

Outlook Express has nothing to do with Office or Outlook settings. OE is a
Windows program. Change OE's settings in Windows Control Panel, Regional &
Language settings.

How can I change it to English in Outlook Express?
