Outlook Express Spell Check Wrong Language

May 31, 2008

When spell check runs on my outlook express it is in French. Cool but i don't

speak French.

I have checked all the language settings in Outlook and Enterprise 2007 but

can't seem to reset it to English. Office is set to English as is Outlook

Express.

Thank you,

Ray

Outlook Express does not come with its own spell checker. It used the one

installed with Office. Unfortunately, Microsoft decided to remove this feature

starting with Office 2007. Take a look at these articles for more info;

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.

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

Express 6.0 after you install the 2007

Microsoft Office system

If you upgraded from Office 2003 and still have the installation media for that

version the easiest solution to

this problem is to install the Office 2003 Proofing tools. That's how I got

around this issue. You will need to perform a custom installation. The Proofing

Tools can be found under Office Shared Features.

If you don't have an Office 2003 installation CD, here are a few free spell

checkers that you may find helpful.

If you're looking for more options or information, you might want to post this

question to the Outlook express

newsgroup.

Good luck

Outhouse Distress is no longer supported by Microsoft. It has no junk

filter and depends on other programs for spell checking. Do yourself a

favor and download and install Thunderbird that has its own spell check

and an excellent junk filter. You can also use an add on to have a

calender. When you install Thunderbird, you will be asked if you want to

import everything from OE. To back up Thunderbird, all you have to do is

copy the files in Thunderbird's folder and you will have backed up

*everything* including rules, accounts and, of course, mail. To restore,

you delete the same files in the new install and replace them with the

back ups. Couldn't be simpler. Get it at http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird.
