Spell check in French?
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 :) -- Karen |

Office 2007 does not support Spell Check in OE. You can download a freeware
spell check which will work fine. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2952 http://www.tinyspell.m6.net/ (Checks the spelling as you type). -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Karen" wrote in message ...

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? -- Karen "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ... Office 2007 does not support Spell Check in OE.

Spell check in French?
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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Karen" wrote in message ... Hi Bruce, Wow, thanks for the rapid response. I would like OE to behave as it did, spell check in English.

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.) -- Karen "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Karen" wrote in message ...

Spell check in French?
Perhaps this blog may explain...
http://pschmid.net/blog/2006/11/13/80 See this section..... After installing Office 2007 RTM, you don't 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'.

Spell check in French?
Hi Ken,
This does help. I had installed Office 2007 with Office 2003 still available but I was having LOTS of problems with the Windows Installer popping up whenever I tried to open any of the Office products so I just removed Office 2003. Sure enough, that is when the problem began, I'll try this suggestions :) -- Karen "Ken" wrote in message ...
