Hi,
Outlook Express spell check is now in French. In the tab labeled spelling
it shows on one choice French. I check with a friend and he says that his
drop down box for language has a long list of language including english
(us). Any thoughts? Thanks for any help.

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.

TinySpell:

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

OE never had a spell checker. You have to have one of the office programs.

But not Office 2007. A free download works, which I mentioned.
