I live in the USA. I speak English. Why is my OE6 suddenly using a French
dictionary? How do I fix this? Thanks!
You see French because you added Office 2007.
You no longer have spell checking capabilities in some languages in Outlook
Express 6.0 after you install the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

Office 2007 breaks OE's spell check. Downloading a free spell check is the
simplest way around this.

Australian English Spell Check
(Also suitable for other English speaking countries.)
