Language Setting

[Guest Don]

I recently installed Windows XP on my computer, together with the associated

programs Internet Explorer and Outlook Express. I notice when I use the spell

checker in Outlook Express, it wants to correct words to French. I went to

Tools/Options and then selected the Spelling tab. However, in the Language

section, the only language available to me is French. What must I do to

change this to English (United States)?

You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook

Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

Outlook Express cannot use the MS Word spell check in Office 2007.

Downloading a free spell check is the simplest way around this.

TinySpell:

Australian English Spell Check

(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)

If you have a previous version of Office, see this:
