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.

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:

Or download it from SnapFile:

Or you may like TinySpell. (Checks the spelling as you type).

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.

SP2 PC with latest updates and the Language (Tools-Options-Spelling) in

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.

Let us know when you figure out how to expand a thread in that clunky
web-forum interface, Brian.
